13.2.4 Notes on Register Access
The watchdog timer’s TCNT, TCSR, and RSTCSR registers differ from other registers in being more difficult to write to.
The procedures for writing to and reading these registers are given below.
Writing to TCNT and TCSR: These registers must be written to by a word transfer instruction. They cannot be written
to with byte instructions.
Figure 13-2 shows the format of data written to TCNT and TCSR. TCNT and TCSR both have the same write address.
For a write to TCNT, the upper byte of the written word must contain H'5A and the lower byte must contain the write data.
For a write to TCSR, the upper byte of the written word must contain H'A5 and the lower byte must contain the write data.
This transfers the write data from the lower byte to TCNT or TCSR.

Writing to RSTCSR: RSTCSR must be written to by word transfer instruction to address H'FFBE. It cannot be written to
with byte instructions.
Figure 13-3 shows the format of data written to RSTCSR. The method of writing 0 to the WOVF bit differs from that for
writing to the RSTE and RSTS bits.
To write 0 to the WOVF bit, the write data must have H'A5 in the upper byte and H'00 in the lower byte. This clears the
WOVF bit to 0, but has no effect on the RSTE and RSTS bits. To write to the RSTE and RSTS bits, the upper byte must
contain H'5A and the lower byte must contain the write data. This writes the values in bits 6 and 5 of the lower byte into
the RSTE and RSTS bits, but has no effect on the WOVF bit.

Reading TCNT, TCSR, and RSTCSR: These registers are read in the same way as other registers. The read addresses
are H'FFBC for TCSR, H'FFBD for TCNT, and H'FFBF for RSTCSR.
