Two of the Diamond 570T CPU core’s unique features are its 32-bit direct input and output ports, which are the same I/O ports found on the Diamond 108Mini processor core. The input and output wires on these ports connect directly to special software-visible registers in the processor core and can be used for general-purpose signaling, interrupt generation, serial communications, pulse-width modulation, and other sorts of status and control functions on the SOC. Special instructions read and manipulate the contents of these port registers. Table 10.6 lists these port instructions.
