safe-mmio

The safe-mmio crate provides types to wrap registers which can be read or written safely.

use safe_mmio::fields::{ReadPure, ReadPureWrite, ReadWrite, WriteOnly};

#[repr(C, align(4))]
pub struct Registers {
    dr: ReadWrite<u16>,

• Reading dr has a side effect: it pops a byte from the receive FIFO.
• Reading rsr (and other registers) has no side-effects. It is a ‘pure’ read.
