Generic bit-banding
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Generic bit-banding is a method used on typical microcontrollers to allow addressing words of different bit sizes. Each area overlaps each other.
The advantage of generic bit-banding compared to other methods is that it allows direct access to bits, bytes, and words.
Other methods of bit-banding often involve shifting operations in the assembly language code, for example, multiplying by 4, 8, and 16 respectively. This takes up space and time.
