Access tags are missing on register level in the SVD file
According CMSIS SVD specification, the <access> tag is mandatory on register level:
"If the elements <size>, <access>, <resetValue>, and <resetMask> have not been specified on a higher level, then these elements are mandatory on register level."
That causes side effects with some IDEs. If a register contains mixed read-write and read-only fields, a proper implementation could be: defining the register as read-write, and then overriding the access type with a read-only <access> tag on the field level.
I was initially confused by this report of "access tags being missing", so I checked and they are present on the field-level, just not at any higher-levels.
@atanasuzunov I guess as a temporary workaround (until we fix this) you could edit your SVD file to define a default read-write access tag at the device level?
@kilograham Assign this to me please.
Hmmm, looks like we're missing resetMask tags too, perhaps that was added to the SVD spec after I wrote the SVD-creation tool? Or maybe I just never noticed the sentence saying "these elements are mandatory"? :shrug:
BTW I'm fairly sure the SVD file did pass the SVDConv checks when I wrote the SVD-creation tool.
Nope, I don't think so. And it should probably be reassigned to @andygpz11 as I believe he's looking after the SVD-generation code now?
Reassigning to @matiasilva as I think he might have been looking at the SVD stuff most recently?
