Obviously, free and open source platforms are privileged since this is
an education purpose in a university that cannot afford paying money
for licences; or even managing a complex relation with an industrial
partner with some 'discounts' on licences.
So if anyone has a suggestion I would be happy to know about it. At
the end of the process, I'll send a table summarising all the
suggestions so other people/teachers could benefit from it.
Kind regards,

Please do not encourage use of PIC16F84(A) - it is outdated and costs more than better chips according to http://www.microchip.com/ .
Use PIC18f1220 or 18F4550(has USB possibility) instead - or at least PIC16f628A, PIC16f648A, PIC16f684A or PIC16F877A.
Starting with PICmicro controllers

ARM processors has a long it history and are very used and most ARMs are supported by Linux:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture
Quote: "...The ARM design was started in 1983 as a development project at Acorn Computers Ltd.
....
The core has remained largely the same size throughout these changes. ARM2 had 30,000 transistors, while the ARM6 grew to only 35,000.
