Comment on Hand solderable 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 in TQFP packageparentComments−nrp14yIt's actually pretty simple to hand solder a TQFP by drag soldering. The key is to use plenty of flux and have solder braid handy to take care of any bridges. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...It's sort of a moot point with this Cortex A8 IC though, because the RAM it needs only exists in a BGA package.
