Bit Banding Example

This document provides an example of using bit banding to set an enable bit of a Timer32 peripheral. It explains that the bit band offset is located at 0x4200 0000 and gives the peripheral offset of Timer32 at 0xC000. It then shows how to calculate the specific bit-banded address for the enable bit by using the register offset of 0x08 and bit offset of 0x07. Finally, it demonstrates two solutions for setting the enable bit - using a pointer to the address or defining an alias to the address.

Bit Banding Example
Set the Timer32 enable bit using bit-banding
each byte address needs to allow
// Peripheral base address is 0x4000 0000 for 8 bits * 4 bytes = 32 bit-band-bytes
// Peripheral bit band base address is 0x4200 0000
// Timer32 offset is 0xC000
// Register offset is 0x08
// bit offset is 4bytes * bit# = 0x04 * 7 = 0x1C

// Bitband alias --> 0x4200 0000 + 0x20*0xC000 + 0x20*0x08 + 0x1C = 0x4218 011C

//Solution 1 //Solution 2
// //
// Define a pointer to use to access memory // Define an alias to use to access memory
volatile uint8_t * T32_en_ptr; #define T32_en (*((volatile uint8_t *)(0x4218011C)))
T32_en_ptr = (volatile uint8_t *)(0x4218011C); // need to cast the integer
// set the initial value for the output
// set the initial value for the output T32_en = 0;
*T32_en_ptr = 0;
T32_en = 1;
*T32_en_ptr = 1;
T32_en = 0;
*T32_en_ptr = 0;
Cast the value as a pointer to an 8 bit int because the processor ignores
