14.2.5 Memory Access
The Memory Access functions provide convenient method of accessing the display
memory on an S1D13506 controller using byte, word or dword widths.
To reduce the overhead of these function calls as much as possible, two steps were taken:
• To gain maximum efficiency on all compilers and platforms, byte and word size argu-
ments are passed between the application and the HAL as unsigned integers. This typi-
cally allows a compiler to produce more efficient code for the platform.
• Offset alignment for word and dword accesses is not tested. On non-Intel platforms
attempting to access a word or dword on a non-aligned boundary may result in a
processor trap. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the requested offset is
correctly aligned for the target platform.
unsigned seReadDisplayByte(DWORD Offset)
Description:
Parameters:
Return Value:
Reads a byte from the display buffer memory at the specified offset and returns the value.
Offset Offset, in bytes, from start of the display buffer to the byte to read.
The return value, in the least significant byte, is the byte read from display memory.
unsigned seReadDisplayWord(DWORD Offset)
Description:
Parameters:
Return Value:
Reads one word from display buffer memory at the specified offset and returns the value.
Offset Offset, in bytes, from start of the display buffer to the word to read.
The return value, in the least significant word, is the word read from display memory.
DWORD seReadDisplayDword(DWORD Offset)
Description:
Parameters:
Return Value:
Reads one dword from display buffer memory at the specified offset and returns the value.
Offset Offset, in bytes, from start of the display buffer to the dword to read.
The DWORD read from display memory.
void seWriteDisplayBytes(DWORD Offset, unsigned Value, DWORD Count)
Description:
Parameters:
This routine writes one or more bytes to the display buffer at the offset specified by Offset.
Offset
Offset, in bytes, from start of display memory to the first byte to be
written.
Value
An unsigned integer containing the byte to be written in the least
significant byte.
Count
None.
Number of bytes to write. All bytes will have the same value.
Return Value:
S1D13506
