Sensor tile footprint - pinout, pitch, etc ?

The only documentation on the Product Page is the Data Brief - which is extremely brief!

This marketing presentation gives overall dimensions (even those aren't in the Data Brief):

It tells us that it "can be soldered or plugged on a host board" - but there's no pinout or footprint details.

 

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Look at the circuit...

OK, so the Data Brief does mention UM2101:

but not as a clickable link, and it is not mentioned on the Product Page

 

UM2101 does give the pinout:

but still not the pitch of the connections.

That also gives only pinout - not pitch.

 

PS:

You added mention of the Gerbers.

Yes, I'm sure it is in there - but, surely, this should be documented in the User Manual, or other human-readable document(s) ?

Chip datasheets give dimensioned package drawings ...

Again, this should be documented in the User Manual, or other human-readable document(s).

After all, chip datasheets give dimensioned package drawings ..

Ok....but it seems, STM expects you anyway buy the "mother board" also:

You can buy just the Tile alone:
