Maybe look at the Musca boards:

these are based ARM's IoTKit which are modern ARM M-profile boards for IoT 
development.

It really depends on what you are interested in modelling?

One area where we currently fall down is how we handle GPIO type setups
in emulation. While we have models for displays and backends for network
and block devices we haven't got coherent way to represent (and change)
arbitrary IO pins.
