dimElementGroup

The SVD specification supports the array-of-registers concept. The single register description gets duplicated automatically into an array. The size of the array is specified by the <dim> element. The register names can be composed by the register name and an index-specific substring defined in <dimIndex>. The <dimIncrement> specifies the address offset between two registers. The elements below can be used to generate an array of registers.

Element Name	Description	Type	Occurrence
dim	The value defines the number of elements in an array of registers.	scaledNonNegativeInteger	1..1
dimIncrement	If dim is specified, this element becomes mandatory. The element specifies the address increment in between two neighboring registers of the register array in the address map.	scaledNonNegativeInteger	1..1
dimIndex	Specifies the substrings that replaces the %s placeholder within the register name. By default, the index is a decimal value starting with 0 for the first register.	dimIndexType	0..1

Examples:

...
<register>
    <dim>6</dim> 
    <dimIncrement>4</dimIncrement> 
    <dimIndex>A,B,C,D,E,Z</dimIndex> 
    <name>GPIO_%s_CTRL</name> 
...
</register>

The code above generates: => GPIO_A_CTRL, GPIO_B_CTRL, GPIO_C_CTRL, GPIO_D_CTRL, GPIO_E_CTRL, GPIO_Z_CTRL

...
<register>
    <dim>4</dim> 
    <dimIncrement>4</dimIncrement> 
    <dimIndex>3-6</dimIndex> 
    <name>IRQ%s</name> 
...
</register>

The example above generates: => IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ6
