New Pin Compatible STM32 F7

According to http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/mmc/FM ... f7_sep2014 , the new Cortex M7 architecture STM32 F7 series comes in pin and code compatible versions. It has a higher clock rate and faster architecture than the STM32 F4 .

It may just be a matter of making up a batch of boards with the new processor and tweaking the firmware a bit to get a higher performance Micropython board.

Actually, it may be pin compatible, but only with 100-pin and higher versions of the chip. We use the 64 pin version of the chip, so it doesn't look like this is going to be a simple option.
