Marshal

---

Marshal is a static class that provides two functions ReadInt32 to read, and WriteInt32 to write and modify some special peripheral's registers.

Example below shows how to use Marshal to read gpio input data register, and modify on gpio output data register to set pin PB0 to high:

Tip

The example below requires System.Runtime.InteropServices.

var pinPB0OutDataReg = (IntPtr)0x58020414;

var portValue = Marshal.ReadInt32(pinPB0OutDataReg) | (1 << 0); // Pin 0

Marshal.WriteInt32(pinPB0OutDataReg, portValue);

Warning

Some peripherals, reading status registers also clear their status, which may affect their behavior at run time.

Below is list of peripheral registers that TinyCLR OS allows access to. An exception will be thrown if an invalid register is used.
