Register Access

Display or change the contents of a processor register.

Syntax

[[px]] reg-name [= expr]

[[px]] reg-name.bit-name [= expr]

Where:

[px]	is the viewpoint override, including punctuation ( [ ] ), specifying that the viewpoint is temporarily set to processor x of the boundary scan chain.  The processor can be specified as px (where x is the processor ID), or an alias you have defined for a given processor ID.  ALL cannot be used as a viewpoint override.
reg-name	specifies the name of a register.
bit-name	specifies the name of a bit within a register.
expr	specifies a number or expression.

Discussion

Use the reg command to set or display the contents of a specified register. Register contents are displayed in the current number base. Processor register names can also be used in expressions.  Register and bit names are case insensitive.
