Hi group,

 

I’m adding  a freescale microcontroller in my lib. This microcontroller
exists in several packages and the pinout is different from a package to
another (thanks Freescale)

 

When editing the component schematic, I’ve to assign the pin number but this
pin number may be different for the other package.

 

The only way I’ve found is to create a  schematic  for each package…. But
then where is the benefit of having the sch and mod dissociated if I’ve to
create as many schematics than packages ?? You see ? 

 

So is there someting I miss that may solve my problem or am I facing a Kicad
limitation ?
