Could you set this on every pins depending on there group/section.
  • Power, Terminal Order = 1, Pin Orientation = Top
  • Ground, Terminal Order = 55, Pin Orientation = Bottom
  • Interface, Terminal Order = 2, Pin Orientation = Right
  • RF, Terminal Order = 3, Pin Orientation = Left
  • Status, Terminal Order = 4, Pin Orientation = Right
  • Control, Terminal Order = 5, Pin Orientation = Left
  • Reserved, Terminal Order = 6, Pin Orientation = Right

flux

I’ll apply Terminal Order and Pin Orientation to every terminal based on its current Pin Group/Section, then verify the mapping across all 102 pins.

flux

Applied the requested Terminal Order and Pin Orientation mapping to all 102 pins and verified the readback.
Open items:
  • None.
Applied mapping:
  • Power → Order 1, Top
  • Interface → Order 2, Right
  • RF → Order 3, Left
  • Status → Order 4, Right
  • Control → Order 5, Left
  • Reserved → Order 6, Right
  • Ground → Order 55, Bottom

Pin Grouping Applied
Each schematic terminal was assigned exactly one primary Pin Group / Section based on its datasheet role.

Symbol Cross-Check
  • Datasheet pin assignment covers pins 1-54, with the module also using central LGA ground pads to reach 102 total footprint pads.
  • The schematic has 102 terminal components and 102 footprint pads, consistent with the part footprint structure.
  • Named pins 1-54 match the datasheet roles reviewed: RF_IN, antenna monitor/control, VCC/V_BCKP/V_USB, USB, UART/SPI/I2C shared host interface, RESET_N, SAFEBOOT_N, EXTINT, TIMEPULSE, RTK/GEOFENCE status, UART2 correction pins, and reserved pins.
  • Pin descriptions and electrical Pin Type properties were added for all named pins and ground/reserved pads.
Footprint Cross-Check
  • Footprint body/fab outline in the KiCad payload is 22 mm x 17 mm, matching the datasheet typical body dimensions.
  • Outer I/O pads in the footprint use positions such as ±9.95 mm and ±7.45 mm with 0.8 mm x 1.5 mm pads, consistent with the u-blox integration-manual footprint dimensions.
  • The integration manual recommends a 23.0 mm x 17.4 mm copper footprint envelope and central ground vias / solid ground fill under the module.
  • The footprint includes 102 pads and central ground pad grid entries.
Mismatches / Issues Flagged
  1. Description dimension mismatch: project description says 16x12 mm, but the datasheet states 22.0 x 17.0 x 2.4 mm typical. This should be corrected.
  2. Datasheet URL quality: the project has a datasheet URL set to an uploaded storage PDF. It appears to contain the official u-blox datasheet, but the public official u-blox URL should be preferred for long-term traceability.
  3. Manufacturer facet mismatch in library search: Flux library search returned manufacturer facet Other, while the project property correctly says u-blox. The part property is correct; the search facet metadata may need cleanup.
  4. Section/Pin Group values: custom groups such as RF / Antenna, UART2 Corrections, and Status / Timing were accepted but are outside some autocomplete suggestions. They are functionally clearer and match the requested grouping style.
  • Update project description to replace 16x12 mm with 22 x 17 x 2.4 mm.
  • Prefer the official u-blox datasheet URL if the platform allows changing the part-level Datasheet URL.
  • Keep the applied pin grouping; it is one-group-per-pin and datasheet-based.
