### Write-1-to-Clear (W1C) Register Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
Many status registers (especially i.MX RT, STM32) clear by writing 1, not 0:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
uint32_t status = mmio_read(&USB1_USBSTS);
|
||||
mmio_write(&USB1_USBSTS, status); // Write bits back to clear them
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Common W1C:** `USBSTS`, `PORTSC`, CCM status. **Wrong:** `status &= ~bit` does nothing on W1C registers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Platform Safety & Gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ Voltage Tolerances:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Most platforms: GPIO max 3.3V (NOT 5V tolerant except STM32 FT pins)
|
||||
- Use level shifters for 5V interfaces

- Check datasheet current limits (typically 6-25mA)
