BGA does not put it out of the home hw hacker domain, it just requires a

I am very
excited to see so much progress on this. That ATMEL dev
board also seems like a fast way to get something up and running.
Yes it is, but the processor on the cheap (~80USD) AT32NGW100 [3] is
AT32AP7000 [4], which has a BGA [5] package only, which puts it out
of the home hw hacker domain (special equipment is required to solder
it).
