The MID flag is set whenever the CPU encounters an unknown opcode. This (together with the interrupt) may be used to implement new "commands" on the application level.
Usage
As always, CRU bits are queried and set with special commands. Bits are addressed as offsets to a base address which is stored in Workspace Register 12 (R12). The base address is stored in bits 3-14, so the R12 value is twice as high as the absolute bit address. (Note that bit 15 cannot be used since A15 and CRUOUT share the same line.) Base addresses are commonly noted as register 12 values.
Turn on Geneve mode:
LI R12,>1EF4 SBO 0
or, equivalently
LI R12,>1EE0 SBO 10
since 0x1ee0 + 10*2 = 0x1ee0 + 0x14
(bit numbers are often given in decimal notation)
The LDCR and STCR commands are used to write or read multiple CRU bits. The base address is automatically incremented for each bit transfer. Bit transfers begin at the least significant bit. Note that it is relevant whether less than 9 bits are transferred: If less, the memory location is treated as a byte address, if more, as a word address.
LI R12,>0006 STCR R0,5
reads the five joystick lines, storing the bits in the least significant five bits of the high byte of R0, with bit 3 at the right.
| x | x | x | up | down | right | left | but | x | x | x | x | x | x | x | x |
If we had transferred 9 bits, all bits as shown above are shifted to the right by 8 positions (starting at the very right bit).
LI R12,>1EF0 LI R1,>f100 * binary: 11110001 LCDR R1,8
This enables the keyboard clock, not clearing the input register, activating TI mode and mapping, cartridges have 8K, no write protection to 6xxx and 7xxx, and no wait states.
