In order to write to a register containing write-only bits, set aside a work area in memory (in on-

chip RAM, for example) and write the data to be manipulated to it. After accessing and

manipulating the data in the work area in memory, write the resulting data to the register

containing write-only bits.

Example: Clearing pin 14 only of P1DDR for port 1

P1DDR is an 8-bit register that contains write-only bits. It is used to specify the I/O setting of the

individual pins in port 1. Reading produces invalid data. Attempting to read from P1DDR returns

undefined values.

In this example, the BCLR instruction is used to set pin 14 as an input port. To start, the initial

value H'F0 to be written to P1DDR is written ahead of time to the work area (RAM0) in memory.
