(0008h .OR. SR −> SR / .src .OR. dst −> dst)

Emulation

BIS

#8,SR

Description

All interrupts are enabled.

 

The constant #08h and the status register SR are logically ORed. The result

 

is placed into the SR.

Status Bits

Status bits are not affected.

Mode Bits

GIE is set. OSCOFF and CPUOFF are not affected.

Example

The general interrupt enable (GIE) bit in the status register is set.

;Interrupt routine of ports P1.2 to P1.7

;P1IN is the address of the register where all port bits are read. P1IFG is the address of

;the register where all interrupt events are latched.
