3 Bit Field and Register-File Structure Approach

Instead of accessing registers using #define macros, it is more flexible and efficient to use a bit field and register-file structure approach.

  • Register‐File Structures:

    • A register file is the collection of registers belonging to a peripheral. These registers are grouped together in C/C++ as members of a structure; this is called a register-file structure. Each register-file structure is mapped in memory directly over the peripheral registers at compile time. This mapping allows the compiler to efficiently access the registers using the CPU's data page pointer (DP).

  • Bit Field Definitions:

    • Bit fields can be used to assign a name and width to each functional field within a register. Registers defined in terms of bit fields allow the compiler to manipulate single elements within a register. For example, a flag can be read by referencing the bit field name corresponding to that flag.

The remainder of this section describes a register-file structure with bit-field implementation for the SCI peripherals. This process consists of the following steps:

  1. Create a simple SCI register-file structure variable type; this implementation does not include bit fields.
  2. Create a variable of this new type for each of the SCI instances.
  3. Map the register-file structure variables to the first address of the registers using the linker.
  4. Add bit-field definitions for select SCI registers.
  5. Add union definitions to provide access to either bit fields or the entire register.
  6. Rewrite the register-file structure type to include the bit-field and union definitions.

In the C/C++ Header Files and Peripheral Examples, the register-file structures and bit fields have been implemented for all peripherals on the C28x cores of the TMS320x28xx and TMS320x28xxx devices.
