4 Bit Field and Register-File Structure Advantages

The bit field and register-file structure approach has many advantages that include:

  • Register-file structures and bit fields are already available from Texas Instruments.

    • In the C/C++ Header Files and Peripheral Examples, the register-file structures and bit fields have been implemented for all peripherals on the C28x cores of the TMS320x28xx and TMS320x28xxx devices. The included header files can be used as-is or extended to suit your particular needs.

    The complete implementation is available in the software downloads from TI's website as shown in Section 1.

  • Using bit fields produces code that is easy-to-write, easy-to-read, easy-to-update, and efficient.

    • Bit fields can be manipulated quickly without the need to determine a register mask value. In addition, you have the flexibility to access registers either by bit field or as a single quantity as shown in Example 11. Code written using the register file structures also generates very efficient code. Code efficiency will be discussed in Section 5.

  • Bit fields take advantage of the Code Composer Studio editors auto complete feature.

    • At first it may seem that variable names are harder to remember and longer to type when using register-file structures and bit fields. The Code Composer Studio editor provides a list of possible structure/bit field elements as you type; this makes it easier to write code without referring to documentation for register and bit field names. An example of the auto completion feature for the CPU-Timer TCR register is shown in Figure 3.

  • Increases the effectiveness of the Code Composer Studio Watch Window.

    • You can add and expand register-file structures in Code Composer Studio's watch window as shown in Figure 4. Bit field values are read directly without extracting their value by hand.
