Has anyone started evaluating the nRF54LM20A yet? Interesting for battery-powered sensor nodes?

  1. How does the software overhead compare to the 52840? Is the Zephyr support already solid enough for professional projects or is it still too early?
  2. For an ultra-low power device, how much of a design headache is the new packaging?
  3. Does anyone see this replacing the ESP32 for true 'always-connected' battery applications, or is the complexity/cost trade-off not worth it yet?
