Instruction manual

In either case, the line continues for the number of iterations specified in
the LineLength field of BRES3; and the data for the line is taken from the
low order 16 bits of the input data. At the end of the line, the potential next
pixel address for the line is saved and the LineLength is reset to 0. A write
operation to the BCONT register continues this line for 16 more iterations.
6.4.2 Planemask Register
The planemask register dictates which bits in each pixel are going to be written
during a write or read/modify/write operation. In 8 or 16 bits/pixel modes,
software must replicate the planemask across the 32 bits of the planemask
register.
Note
Value at initialization: 0
