MPU Registers
The MPU registers are listed in
. The base address of the MPU module can be found in the
device-specific data sheet. The address offset of each MPU register is given in
.
The password defined in the MPUCTL0 register controls access to all MPU registers. When the correct
password is written, write access is enabled. Write access is disabled by writing a wrong password in byte
mode to the MPUCTL0 upper byte. Word accesses to MPUCTL0 with a wrong password triggers a PUC.
A write access to a register other than MPUCTL0 while write access is not enabled causes a PUC.
Password write is always enabled to allow consecutive access to MPUCTL1.
NOTE:
All registers have word or byte register access. For a generic register
ANYREG
, the suffix
"_L" (
ANYREG_L
) refers to the lower byte of the register (bits 0 through 7). The suffix "_H"
(
ANYREG_H
) refers to the upper byte of the register (bits 8 through 15).
