Next: H8/300-Addressing, Previous: H8/300-Chars, Up: H8/300 Syntax [Contents][Index]
You can use predefined symbols of the form rnh and rnl to refer to the H8/300 registers as sixteen 8-bit general-purpose registers. n is a digit from 0 to 7); for instance, both r0h and r7l are valid register names.
You can also use the eight predefined symbols rn to refer to the H8/300 registers as 16-bit registers (you must use this form for addressing).
On the H8/300H, you can also use the eight predefined symbols ern (er0 er7) to refer to the 32-bit general purpose registers.
The two control registers are called pc
(program counter; a 16-bit register, except on the H8/300H where it is 24 bits) and ccr
(condition code register; an 8-bit register). r7
is used as the stack pointer, and can also be called sp
.
