Very interesting stuff.

Thanks :) Can't wait to start breadboarding.

Are you planning on having the boards, even prototype ones, professionally assembled? The LGA form factor is impossible to hand solder, and I don't know well they work with hobbyist-level oven/hot air/hot plate soldering. In my experimentation I always try to stay away from packages that can't be easily soldered, even if in practice I usually use an oven - all too often, I've had to touch up the solder by hand.

I am going to break the PMIC and DC regulator sections out to stamp-sized PCBs that that fit on a MHP30 hot plate, hoping that this would make assembly DIY-able. I have never worked with LGA before, just BGA, but i figured the usual stencil, paste and hot plate method should work here... But yes, if all else fails, these may end up needing PCBA service then. Thanks for the heads up, that's really helpful!

@@buildacubesat - if you've done BGAs successfully this way, then the LGA should be just fine. I've stayed away from both, because I wasn't sure it'd work in a DIY environment. Good to know that it does.
