Nothing other than the STM32W! We have some of the ST/Dizic demo boards 
here for that chip, and are having a time figuring out the new Cortex M3 
arch. There's weird little problems, like the chip requires it's own 
flashing algorithm, which is only implemented in IAR for now. There's a 
pure python bootloader, as well as a binary one from ST, but we really 
want to get debug and/or trace working properly.
We also can't get the chip to go into JTAG mode, so I hope that FTDI 
chip supports SWD debug...

And since there's no details on radio interaction provided in the 
datasheet, I suppose it'll all have to be done through the functions in 
the PHY header that they distribute? I only just started looking through 
it recently, and it does indeed look like all the assembly files are 
written with GNU support, so that's good. But we've only used Keil and 
IAR on the M3's so far.
I'd also be curious to know if there is a larger firmware library, or if 
the STM32F lib works, for things like SPI, DMA, I2C, etc.

There's actually going to be a *much* better chip coming from Dust 
Networks later in this year which will also be a Cortex M3 and a great 
15.4 radio that only runs 3mA rx/tx :

  We started on the STM32W platform just to learn cortex and get all the 
code into plain C (it's in nesC now...), and nail down ARM debugging.
