Usage Note; Figure 4.3 Operation When Sp Value Is Odd - Renesas H8S/2111B Hardware Manual

4.7

Usage Note

When accessing word data or longword data, this LSI assumes that the lowest address bit is 0. The
stack should always be accessed in words or longwords, and the value of the stack pointer (SP:
ER7) should always be kept even.
Use the following instructions to save registers:
PUSH.W Rn
PUSH.L ERn
Use the following instructions to restore registers:
POP.W Rn
POP.L ERn
Setting SP to an odd value may lead to a malfunction. Figure 4.3 shows an example of what
happens when the SP value is odd.

[Legend]
CCR: Condition code register
PC: Program counter
R1L: General register R1L
SP: Stack pointer
Note: This diagram illustrates an example in which the interrupt control mode is 0 in advanced mode.
