Kumar, AbhishekOnce the boards were ready from OSHPark, they were sent over to GHI Electronics for assembly on the 26th of September. GHI Electronics is also the manufacturer of the new PocketBeagle boards that uses the same OSD3358-SM SiP as BeagleLogic standalone does. Had it not been for them, I probably wouldn't have been able to get the boards back in time for the Best Product round.
They were kind enough to send a few pictures and videos of the boards undergoing the assembly process. Here are the pictures:
1. Bottom side, after solder paste application.
2. Bottom side, all parts placed
3. Bottom side, coming out of reflow
4. Top side, after application of solder paste
5. Top side, after Pick-n-Place
6. Top side coming out of reflow:
The boards were shipped to me on the 28th September, and I received them on the 4th of October. The wait was excruciatingly long, and I was brimming with excitement when I received them. More on the board bring-up in the next post!

How come the parts from the bottom didn't fall off during the reflow for the top?
Are you sure? yes | no
Surface tension and possibly a small amount of glue is how it usually works.
