3.3.2 Register Controls Section
The lower section of the registers main form, called Register Controls , provides for control
over global functions of all register tabs (for example the ability to write to and read from all
registers). The buttons and fields in this section are:
•
Write All : When this button is pressed, all outstanding register changes (shown in
red on the register tabs) are written to the ZL70550. This operation takes a few
seconds to complete.
•
Read All : When this button is pressed, all register settings are read from the
ZL70550. This operation takes a few seconds to complete.
•
Save Registers to File : When this checkbox is checked and Read All is pressed, all
registers settings are saved to a text file. The file is stored under
C:\Program Files\Microsemi\ZL70550 ADK [Version]\Program where [Version] is the
ADK version. Figure 10 is an example of the file format viewed in Notepad.
Figure 10 shows that the address is displayed in decimal and the data is displayed in
hexadecimal. This is compatible with the default format shown in the registers main
form.
•
Register Name Search : This text box gives the user the ability to search for any
register in the memory map by name. The user can enter any portion of a register
name and press enter. The software then searches through the memory map to find
all matches of the entered string. If a match is found, a form shows the page,
address, and complete memory name for the matching search results. Figure 11
shows an example of a register search result for “GPIO” entered into the text box.
•
Register Access : The fields in this group allow users to enter any register address
for Read or Write access. The address is in decimal and the data value is in
hexadecimal (in the Address (dec) and Value (hex) fields, respectively). The Radix
radio buttons (refer to next bullet) do not apply to this function.
•
Radix : These radio buttons select the radix used for register values in the register
byte-level access field for each register in the register tabs.
