uboot中是这么定义的:
u-boot_2.3.5/arch/arm/include/asm/io.h
/*
* Generic virtual read/write. Note that we don't support half-word
* read/writes. We define __arch_*[bl] here, and leave __arch_*w
* to the architecture specific code.
*/
#define __arch_getb(a) (*(volatile unsigned char *)(a))
#define __arch_getw(a) (*(volatile unsigned short *)(a))
#define __arch_getl(a) (*(volatile unsigned int *)(a)) //就是把值通过指针读出来
#define __arch_putb(v,a) (*(volatile unsigned char *)(a) = (v))
#define __arch_putw(v,a) (*(volatile unsigned short *)(a) = (v))
#define __arch_putl(v,a) (*(volatile unsigned int *)(a) = (v)) //写入v
