Most of the examples in this manual use a fictitious device that has an 8-bit command and status register (csr), followed by an 8-bit data register. The command and status register is so called because writes to it go to an internal command register, and reads from it are directed to an internal status register.
The command register looks like this:
The status register looks like this:
Many drivers provide macros for the various bits in their registers to make the code more readable. The examples in this manual use the following names for the bits in the command register:
#define ENABLE_INTERRUPTS 0x10 #define CLEAR_INTERRUPT 0x08 #define START_TRANSFER 0x04
For the bits in the status register, the examples use following macros:
#define INTERRUPTS_ENABLED 0x10 #define INTERRUPTING 0x08 #define DEVICE_BUSY 0x04 #define DEVICE_ERROR 0x02 #define TRANSFER_COMPLETE 0x01
