* remove ipx connector for nfc, instead use two caps and loop traces on the back of the board as an antenna?

* move BAT1 to power the GPS VBACKUP instead per page 6 of the Air530 datasheet. And remove the i2c RTC entirely.

Once again - I'm glad you added that external flash chip.
* Power measurements
When powered by 4V battery
CPU on, lora radio RX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS trying to lock. total draw 43mA
CPU on, lora radio RX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS super low power sleep mode. Total draw 20mA
CPU on, lora radio TX mode, bluetooth enabled, GPS super low power sleep mode. Total draw 132mA
Note: power consumption while connected via BLE to a phone almost identical.
Note: eink display for all tests was in sleep mode most of the time. Current draw during the brief periods while the eink was being drawn was not
measured (but it was low).
Note: Turning off EINK PWR_ON produces no noticeable power savings over just putting the eink display into sleep mode.
