8.2.2
The program counter is a 14-bit register that contains the address of the next instruction or operand to be
fetched.
During normal execution, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential memory
location each time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch, and return operations load the
program counter with an address other than that of the next sequential location. This is called a
change-of-flow.
During reset, the program counter is loaded with $3FFD and the program will start execution from this
specific location.
8.2.3
The shadow program counter is a 14-bit register. During a subroutine call using either a JSR or a BSR
instruction, the return address will be saved into the SPC. Upon completion of the subroutine, the RTS
instruction will restore the content of the program counter from the shadow program counter.
During reset, the shadow program counter is loaded with $3FFD.
8.2.4
The 2-bit condition code register contains two status flags. The content of the CCR in the RS08 is not
directly readable. The CCR bits can be tested using conditional branch instructions such as BCC and BEQ.
These two register bits are directly accessible through the BDC interface. The following paragraphs
provide detailed information about the CCR bits and how they are used.
and their bit positions.
The status bits (Z and C) are cleared to 0 after reset.
The two status bits indicate the results of arithmetic and other instructions. Conditional branch instructions
will either branch to a new program location or allow the program to continue to the next instruction after
the branch, depending on the values in the CCR status bit. Conditional branch instructions, such as BCC,
BCS, and BNE, cause a branch depending on the state of a single CCR bit.
Often, the conditional branch immediately follows the instruction that caused the CCR bit(s) to be updated,
