C Pointers, Memory, and Low-Level Concepts
·
Module 7
Low-Level Data Representation and Manipulation
Modeling Hardware Registers with Bit-Fields
Define and use bit-fields in structures to model hardware register layouts.
2
Bit-Fields: Portability & Implementation-Defined Behavior
Explain the portability and implementation-defined aspects of bit-fields (e.g., bit ordering, padding).
3
Type Punning with Unions: Aliasing Concerns
Use unions for type-punning (e.g., accessing individual bytes of a 32-bit value) and explain related aliasing concerns.
4
Bitwise Operations for Register Control
Set, clear, toggle, and check individual bits in a register-like variable using bitmasks.
5
Bitwise Operations for Multi-Bit Field Manipulation
Extract and insert multi-bit fields from/into a variable using bitwise shifts and masks.
6
Configuring Hardware with C: From Datasheet to Code
Translate a hardware register description from a datasheet into C code for configuration using bit manipulation.
