5.1.1 Hardware-Driven Layout

In a hardware-driven layout approach, the pins might simply be connected to the closest LCD-capable pins on the MSP430 so as to minimize crossings and try to layout the board in a single layer. However, this can result in layouts where the pins mapped to the MSP430 LCD memory are scattered through memory, meaning more software work and overhead when writing the code.
