Abstract
A method of controlling a port in an apparatus includes receiving an instruction for execution by a processor. The method further includes executing the instruction, by writing a value to a storage location corresponding to the port, and by initializing a count operation. The method further includes proceeding with the count operation until a final count value is reached, and providing to the port the value written to the storage location.
