RAK19007
Your previous work, similar parts
None. There is a RAK3172 breakout board, but is it completely unrelated.

@AK19 thank you! a part will be made
Do you want to make it?
Peter
Hi Peter, OK I can make it
I had a look at it and it appears there is adequate data present to do it, it isn’t really clear to me what it does but it should be make able, so I will leave you to it.

@AK19 Just a QN – do you also need the connectors circled in red and blue to connect to in Fritzing?
If yes, the oart will take some time
I think those connectors are likely to be important (although obviously I don’t know for sure 
.) It looks to me as if something else is intended to plug in to them (which doesn’t yet exist as a Fritzing part, which I expect to be the next request. It appears likely to me that those connectors will need to be active (and will be a lot of work) for the board to be useful. Being high density I expect there will be problems with making connections in breadboard (due to the connector overlap being intended for 0.1in spacing, not high density, these look like they may be 1mm pitch which is likely too small for breadboard) that may make implementing the connectors successfully hard or impossible.
Edit:
I don’t believe this is possible. When I looked further there is a data sheet for the connector. It is 0.4mm pitch which isn’t going to connect in breadboard so you probably won’t be able to connect to the connectors in breadboard at all the wires won’t be able to connect to a pitch that fine I don’t think.
Peter
It should be possible to use in breadboard view, just not connected to (on top of) a breadboard. Those component connectors are like mini breadboards in that other things are expected to connect to them. If those are shield or hat type components, they would connect directly over the part. Otherwise cables or individual wires. You might need to zoom in (and adjust or turn off grid), but even fine pitch connectors should still work. My own preference for something like that, would be to create a breakout part that would be easier to connect wires to.
The “interesting” work to create that looks like the needed bus connections. I have not looked at the datasheet.
Good catch! Yes that indeed appears to work fine. I used my broken 0.5mm header files and changed one to having an fzp with female (rather than male) pins and tried it with the grid size set to 0.5 mm and it appears to work fine:
wires won’t work (I can only connect to every other pin even with the 0.5mm grid size) as the wire will select when I try and add a wire to the next pin over, but as you note the connectors if aligned exactly should connect fine.
Making the connections in schematic (or in breadboard automatically) should work though
I think the part will be hard to use but it should be possible. Thanks for the suggestion!
Peter
Reduce the grid size even further, and/or turn off the wire layer for the view. It won’t select an existing wire if it is hidden.
Sorry for the delay.
So, that is a base board for a modular system. The slots (CPU slot, slots A and B, and IO slot) are important to the use of the board (those are where modules connect), but I can’t imagine anyone connecting anything other than their pre-made modules, so probably not important for a Fritzing part (I might be wrong).
The only catch here is if someone else requests something like RAK4631 to use on that the RAK19007 then the headers become really important.
The Solar and Battery connectors can be useful (not for my purposes, but it is easier to imagine someone making use of them on a drawing).
In my opinion (and again, I might be wrong) what is really really important are the Header Connecters (#7 on the image below)
Yes, those connectors are for hat type components.
Sometimes an image says a lot more than words, so:
