4.3.11.2.2. Using Access Register Command

Read s0 using abstract command:
Op Address Value Comment
Write command aarsize=2, transfer, regno= 0x1008 Read s0
Read data0 — Returns value that was in s0
Write mstatus using abstract command:
Op Address Value Comment
Write data0 new value —
Read command aarsize=2, transfer, regno= 0x300 Write mstatus
