SH3-DSP Control Registers

The SH3-DSP has eight control registers. The DSP mode is started only when SR.DSP = 1.

Control Register Description
SSR Same as the corresponding SH-3 registers.
SPC Same as the corresponding SH-3 registers.
GBR Same as the corresponding SH-3 registers.
VBR Same as the corresponding SH-3 registers.
RS Repeat start register.
RE Repeat end register.
RC Repeat counter register.
RF0, RF1 Repeat control bit.
MOD Modulo register.
DMX,DMY Modulo control bits in SR.

Note   You cannot operate both X and Y address pointers in modulo addressing mode even if you set both DMX and DMY bits. The case where DMX = DMY = 1 is reserved for future expansion. If both DMX and DMY are set simultaneously, the hardware treats the Y address pointer as the modulo-addressing pointer. Modulo addressing is available for X and Y data transfer operations MOVX and MOVY, but not for the single data transfer operation MOVS.

In order to access Repeat Start (RS), Repeat End (RE), and Modulo (ME) Control Registers, SH3-DSP provides load and store instructions for these registers.

The following example shows how to use RS.

LDC Rm,RS; Rm -> RS
LDC.L @Rm+,RS; (Rm) -> RS, Rm+4 -> Rm
STC RS,Rn; RS -> Rn
STC.L RS,@-Rn; Rn-4 -> Rn, RS -> (Rn)

The following address-set instructions apply to RS and RE.

LDRS @(disp,PC); disp  2 + PC -> RS
LDRE @(disp,PC); disp  2 + PC -> RE
