Pin Function Grouping


Added Section to all 36 pins, with each Section value matching that pin’s Pin Group value exactly.
Assign a Terminal Order from 1 to 10, starting with Power. Power should be Terminal Order 1, and Ground should be last, Terminal Order 10. For Orientation, set Power to "Top" and Ground to "Bottom." For the remaining sections/groups, you may decide the Terminal Order and Orientation yourself. For Orientation, distribute them between "Left" and "Right" — don't put everything on one side. Each group/section should have a different orientation
There are 7 current groups—Power, VDD, Analog, Control Bus, I²C, USB, and GND—but only 4 orientations (Top, Bottom, Left, Right), so every group cannot have a unique orientation.
I can assign Power = 1/Top, GND = 10/Bottom, order the other five from 2–6, and alternate them between Left and Right. Confirm this interpretation.
Okay
Applied the group ordering and orientations:
  • 1 Power — Top
  • 2 VDD — Left
  • 3 Analog — Right
  • 4 Control Bus — Left
  • 5 I²C — Right
  • 6 USB — Left
  • 10 GND — Bottom
