[Dspforum] --consultant issue and C question

[Alan Ding]

For using the DIP switch, i did this:

   if (((*cpld_user & 0xff) & (0x10 << 2)) == 0)   //SW2 is depressed

where 2 is for the second dip switch and cpld_user is defined as:

   volatile Uint8 *cpld_user = (Uint8 *)(0x90080000); //cpld user register
bits for dip switches and LEDs

Your approach looks other than maybe you were missing a parentheses:

   #define SWITCHES *(unsigned volatile char *)(0x90080000);

to

   #define SWITCHES *((unsigned volatile char *)(0x90080000));

I don't have a compiler right now to verify this but at least my approach
should work.
