1.5Register Abbreviations

When a register is associated with the primary interface, its name is preceded with Primary. When a register is associated with the secondary interface, its name is preceded with Secondary. When a register is shared by both interfaces, it is not preceded with Primary or Secondary. The byte offsets at which each register can be accessed from each interface are listed in each register description.

Table 2 lists the register access abbreviations.
