BGA-400 Symbol Related

Schematic Library Symbols

Hi,

I have a project that invoves a 400 pin BGA footprint. I sectioned the symbols into 7 or 8 different ones for different functions of this SoC. However, I cannot seem to group them all into one footprint (i.e., BGA-400) and use the pins into one footprint as it puts many 400-pin BGAs in the PCB editor.

Are there any way to put the different symbols into one footprint and the KiCAD tool will determine the pins to connect to the footprint from the symbols?

Best,
Nawaf

Make one symbol that has multiple units.

You can edit each unit separately by selecting from the drop-down menu here:
