12 x 16 = 192, not 384.

Do you need all possible combinations of input, output, and bi-dir?
I assumed they're mutually exclusive. If not, you need 3 bits/pin/function.

With packages, do you mean e.g. RZ/A1H vs. RZ/A1L? These indeed differ, but
should use different compatible values.
Or do you mean QFP/BGA256 vs. BGA324? Isn't the former a subset of the latter?

Yep, depending on what gives the smallest code/data size.

OK.
