Oh! =A0I like that idea! = =A0Would you use the gschem "slots" functionality to do that?

-James=A0

If your "banks" represent= identical submodules of the chip, you can make a single symbol and use the= slot functionality. Otherwise, just make separate symbols (making sure tha= t pinnumbers don't conflict) for the different "banks". In th= e schematic, be sure to assign the same refdes to all of the "banks&qu= ot; of the chip. You can mix these approaches, using slotted symbols for re= peated "banks" and separate symbols for unique "banks" = (e.g. power inputs).


Okay. =A0If I do tha= t, making sure to use the same refdes and footprint, will 'gsch2pcb'= ;, make sure all of the "banks" are assembled as 1 device?
