Since there are so many boards out there in the market, its difficult for a beginners like me to choose one. Also does the board comes with a programmer circuit on the board or do i have to buy a programmer separately. I would also love a board which also has an FPGA on it.
Designing one's own chip is not a beginner's project!!
I really don't think designing one's own chip is a suitable project for someone who can't even select a ready-made dev board?
Hi Steve,
Arm offers the MPS range of development platforms, allowing you to implement your own IP alongside the Arm processor itself. See:https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/development-boards/fpga-prototyping-boardsYou may well also wish to look into the DesignStart FPGA program:https://www.arm.com/resources/designstart/designstart-fpgaRegards

Very many do.
As a beginner, I would recommend that you get one which does - it makes life simpler and a whole lot cheaper.
I would recommend that you get one from a "mainstream" source which comes with good documentation and support - ie, not some cheap no-name stuff from ebay, Ali Express, etc ...

Well, that very much narrows down the field!
If you're new to Cortex-M, I would strongly recommend that you do not confuse the issue by adding the very significant extra complexity of FPGAs!
