hi everyone i have a , perhaps, silly question i'm very interested in building my own hardware board with intel xscale with lcd and other peripherals (and try to embed RTOS in it after the hardware is ready, but not the main concern now) can someone do this individually and integrate all of the component with wirewrap or other better methods? how hard is it and any suggestions?

Wire-wrap isn't viable for this type of system, you'll need a multilayer PCB. Intel has a reference design with all the PCB manufacturing files.

Ed Corter made some headway with BGA designs and Wirewrap for his home made FPGA board.

People said it wouldnt work and it does, albeit slowly.
Problems with wire wrap are the clock edges and can you run the CPU slow enough?
If youve got plenty of time on your hands, why not?
