Interface State.IOReg

All Known Implementing Classes:

ATMega128L.SimImpl.PinRegister, State.RWIOReg

Enclosing interface:

State

public static interface State.IOReg

The IOReg interface models the behavior of an IO register. Since some IO registers behave specially with regards to the devices they control, their functionality can be implemented externally to the State class.

Method Summary

byte	read() The read() method reads the 8-bit value of the IO register as a byte.
boolean	readBit(int num) The readBit() method reads a single bit from the IO register.
void	write(byte val) The write() method writes an 8-bit value to the IO register as a byte.
void	writeBit(int num, boolean val) The writeBit() method writes a single bit value into the IO register at the specified bit offset.

Method Detail

read

public byte read()

The read() method reads the 8-bit value of the IO register as a byte. For special IO registers, this may cause some action like device activity, or the actual value of the register may need to be fetched or computed.

Returns:

the value of the register as a byte

write

public void write(byte val)

The write() method writes an 8-bit value to the IO register as a byte. For special IO registers, this may cause some action like device activity, masking/unmasking of interrupts, etc.

Parameters:

val - the value to write

readBit

public boolean readBit(int num)

The readBit() method reads a single bit from the IO register.

Parameters:

num - the number of the bit to read

Returns:

the value of the bit as a boolean

writeBit

public void writeBit(int num,
                     boolean val)

The writeBit() method writes a single bit value into the IO register at the specified bit offset.

Parameters:

num - the number of the bit to write

val - the value of the bit to write
