5.4.4 Status Registers
TMS320C54xx Rules and Guidelines
This section describes the rules and guidelines that apply to the use of the TMS320C54xx on-chip
registers. As described above, there are several different register types. Note that any register that is not
described here must not be accessed by an algorithm; e.g., BSCR, IFR, IMR, and peripheral control and
status registers.
The table below describes all of the registers that may be accessed by an algorithm

The C54xx contains three status registers: ST0, ST1, and PMST. Each status register is further divided
into several distinct fields. Although each field is often thought of as a separate register, it is not possible
to access these fields individually. In order to set one field, it is necessary to set all fields in the same
status register. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the status registers with special care. For example, if any
field of a status register is of type Preserve, the entire register must be treated as a Preserve register.
