I am new to using this development environment, so my question may look stupid. My apologies for. I am going to use the TI board to replace an old microcomputer having a 20 bit address bud, an 8 bit data bus and 4 8 bit ports. My question is: How can I group the board's port bits so that I would be able to program with not much additional effort (e.g.: change the address by updating three registers - 4 + 8 + 8 bit wide ones - how can I join them to use in one command line [like : *dataPointer - 0xAA]. Is there a way to join more port bits to use several different information units - different from byte or word or long etc.). I am using Code Composer 8.
Thank you
Charles
