    Sadly, I can't say the same for everyone.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Mainly for multiformat audio, image processing, video. Pretty sure it's fast enough to generate color video without too much effort.

    Since now i just updated some customer firmware and did some test. REALLY impressive, but... not something i would use daily.

    Did you use BGA or LQFP?
    How to mount BGA?

    I used both. Fortunately, i know someone in Montreal who can solder them for me with the right machine. I already tried with a heat gun... it worked.. but it's not something i would use for massive production.

    There's still some BGA socket.. but... hum hum, a bit expensive.

    see Mill-Max and Aries Electronics as starter.

    Did you use some of the pins, or all and make a 6 layer board to accommodate all the via's required to connect?

    Multilayer of course

    They also have some development board available ~400$.

    Which model do you plan to use?

    Available in 176-LQFP:
    ADSP-BF532SBSTZ400 $14.51ea DigiKey

    Audio, GLCD and SD card in 4 bit mode.

    Haven't seen a programmer outside of the development boards.
