4.2.1 Directly accessing an alias region
Writing to a word in the alias region has the same effect as a read-modify-write
operation on the targeted bit in the bit-band region.
Bit [0] of the value written to a word in the alias region determines the value written to
the targeted bit in the bit-band region. Writing a value with bit [0] set writes a 1 to the
bit-band bit, and writing a value with bit [0] cleared writes a 0 to the bit-band bit.
Bits [31:1] of the alias word have no effect on the bit-band bit. Writing
0x01 has the same
effect as writing
0xFF . Writing 0x00 has the same effect as writing 0x0E .
Reading a word in the alias region returns either
0x01 or 0x00 . A value of 0x01 indicates
that the targeted bit in the bit-band region is set. A value of
0x00 indicates that the
targeted bit is clear. Bits [31:1] are zero.
4.2.2 Directly accessing a bit-band region
You can directly access the bit-band region with normal reads and writes, and writes to
that region.
