Two ways to read and write registers of LM3S9B96

//************************************************************************************
//
// Macros for hardware access, both direct and via the bit-band region.
//
//****************************************************************************
#define HWREG(x) (*((volatile unsigned long *)(x))) // Access registers using bit-band method

How to use: Include hw_types.h file in main.c

HWREG(ETH_BASE + MAC_O_TR) = 0; // Access method: register base address + offset address

How to use: Include lm3s9b96.h file in main.c

HWREG(GPIO_PORTA_DATA_R) = 0; // Access method: directly write the physical address of the register
