Notational Conventions
Vol. 1
TDC-GP30
Throughout the GP30 documentation, the following stile formats are used to support efficient reading
and understanding of the documents:
Hexadecimal numbers are denoted by a leading 0x, e.g. 0xAF = 175 as decimal number.
Decimal numbers are given as usual.
Binary numbers are denoted by a leading 0b, e.g. 0b1101 = 13. The length of a binary
number can be given in bit (b) or Byte (B), and the four bytes of a 32b word are denoted B0,
B1, B2 and B3 where B0 is the lowest and B3 the highest byte.
Abbreviations and expressions which have a special or uncommon meaning within the
context of GP30 application are listed and shortly explained in the list of abbreviations, see
following page. They are written in plain text. Whenever the meaning of an abbreviation or
expression is unclear, please refer to the glossary at the end of this document.
Variable names
for hard coded registers and flags are in bold. Meaning and location of
these variables is explained in the datasheet (see registers CR, SRR and SHR).
Variable names
which represent memory or code addresses are in bold italics. Many of
these addresses have a fixed value inside the ROM code, others may be freely defined by
software. Their meaning is explained in the firmware and ROM code description, and their
physical addresses can be found in the header files. These variable names are defined by
the header files and thus known to the assembler as soon as the header files are included in
the assembler source code. Note that different variable names may have the same address,
especially temporary variables.
Physical variables
are in italics (real times, lengths, flows or temperatures).
