Is NRF_POWER->GPREGRET 8bits ?

[YeLun]

Hi,

NRF_POWER->GPREGRET =0x12345678;

Why only 8bits(0x00000078) be saved ?

Yes, the general-purpose retention registers( GPREGRET and GPREGRET2) are 8 bit registers, please refer this page in the nRF52832 Product Specification.

__IO uint32_t GPREGRET; /*!< General purpose retention register. This register is retained register. */

In nrf51.h the define show me uint32_t.

Thanks!

But the SoftDevice API parameters for accessing these use 32-bit parameters.

The SoftDevice API documentation makes no mention of the fact that the register are only actually 8 bits.

The SoftDevice API documentation should make this clear!

I have reported this internally.
