  • These registers together give a 64-bit number which comprises 56 data bits and 8 parity checking bits:
    • Bit 0 is a parity check of all data bits
    • Bits 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are parity checks of the data bits whose positions, expressed in binary, have that respective bit set.
    • Bit 63 is a parity check of bits 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
  • With this system, any single-bit error can be detected and corrected.
  • Data bits 58-62 are the "ASIC user flags", a byte which must match the 80E0 field in an OS image. 01 = CAS, 00 = non-CAS.

• 900E0010-900E001F (R, halfword): Keypad map (see below)
• 900E0044 (R/W): Interrupt status/acknowledge?

900E0010-900E001F - Keypad map

Each bit represents a key. If bit is cleared, the key is being pressed. Only bits 0 to 10 are used in each halfword. The mapping depends on the currently used keypad (TI-Nspire or TI-84+).

TI-Nspire keypad map:

offset	bit 0	bit 1	bit 2	bit 3	bit 4	bit 5	bit 6	bit 7	bit 8	bit 9	bit 10
