The commonly used cheap devboards have everything included on the board, you just plug in USB and that's all you need.

There are also 'premium' devkits with smaller and nicer packaging e.g. I like m5 devkits that are inch-by-inch-by-halfinch blocks at $7.5 for https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/AtomS3%20Lite or with an integrated screen for $15.5 https://shop.m5stack.com/products/atoms3-dev-kit-w-0-85-inch... is useful for visual feedback.
