Register Set 1; Register Set 2 - Samsung S3C84I8 User Manual

S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9 ADDRESS SPACES

REGISTER SET 1

The term set 1 refers to the upper 64 bytes of the register file, locations C0H–FFH.
The upper 32-byte area of this 64-byte space (E0H–FFH) is expanded two 32-byte register banks, bank 0 and
bank 1. The set register bank instructions, SB0 or SB1, are used to address one bank or the other. A hardware
reset operation always selects bank 0 addressing.
The upper two 32-byte areas (bank 0 and bank 1) of set 1 (E0H–FFH) contains 64 mapped system and peripheral
control registers. The lower 32-byte area contains 16 system registers (D0H–DFH) and a 16-byte common
working register area (C0H–CFH). You can use the common working register area as a "scratch" area for data
operations being performed in other areas of the register file.
Registers in set 1 locations are directly accessible at all times using Register addressing mode. The 16-byte
working register area can only be accessed using working register addressing (For more information about
working register addressing, please refer to Chapter 3, "Addressing Modes.")

REGISTER SET 2

The same 64-byte physical space that is used for set 1 locations C0H–FFH is logically duplicated to add another
64 bytes of register space. This expanded area of the register file is called set 2. For S3C84I5/C84I9/F84I9, the
set 2 address range (C0H–FFH) is accessible on pages 0-1.
The logical division of set 1 and set 2 is maintained by means of addressing mode restrictions. You can use only
Register addressing mode to access set 1 locations. In order to access registers in set 2, you must use Register
Indirect addressing mode or Indexed addressing mode.
The set 2 register area is commonly used for stack operations.
