Reading a register bit

[ravichobey]

Hi All,

I am newbie to this forum.

My Question is:

I am using a 16 bit register in FPGA code.The address of that register is 0x77200000 and i want to read the third register of that 16 bit register.

How it is possible?

Thanks for your support,

Regards,
ravi

Do you mean you want to read the 3rd bit?

You can read the full 16bit register into a variable

[code=c]
unsigned short reg = *(unsigned short *)0x77200000;
[/code]

Then use the bitwise operators ( | & ^ ~ << >> ) to isolate the third bit.
