4.11 Peripherals and I/O
4.10.5 Other work space allocation techniques
The gajw instruction exchanges the contents of Wptr and Areg, allowing work spaces
to be allocated dynamically, and allowing dynamic switching between existing work
spaces. If a process work space holds a pointer to a new work space, then the
following code changes to the new work space and stores a pointer to the old work
space.
The old work space can be restored by
In addition, the old work space can be accessed from the new work space, using
4.11 Peripherals and I/O
The peripheral and I/O instructions are listed in Table 4.13.
4.11.1 Using the IO register
The IO register is a 32-bit register used for simple bit control of devices outside the
core. The bits of the register are directly mapped to external connections on the ST20-
C1 core. The connections to and from the IO register may be to on-chip or external
peripherals depending on the particular chip design. The bits of the IO register are
defined in Table 3.3. Some bits at the most significant end of each half word may be
reserved for the system in some ST20 variants; see the data sheet for the variant.
Setting an output bit will cause the corresponding connection to be driven high, and
clearing the bit will drive the connection low. Similarly any input or output bit may be
tested for the state of the connection; if the connection is high the bit will be set and if
the connection is low the bit will be clear.
The instruction io sets and clears bits of the IO register and loads a copy of the initial
IO register. A bit in the bottom half-word may be set in the IO register by:
A bit in the bottom half-word may be cleared in the IO register by:
