I want to experiment with the SoC but I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere, not even documentation or anything else.

PS. Are there alternatives available from Broadcom?

Broadcom does not do business with "small fish". Their MOQ tend to be hundreds of thousands of chips. Furthermore, the Bluetooth/WiFi on WiFi-enabled Raspberries is a seperate chip (BCM43438) which is now being made by Cypress.

That is why the BCM43438 is now known as CYW43438.

A detailed datasheet can be found here.

You can go to a supplier and pick out any MPU that fits your needs, but don't expect raspbian to run without major modifications.
