<!- Declare an area with two registers and add it to the board type

<hwtype name="MyArea1" address=0x1000000><reg name="myReg1" type="PCIe" offset=0x0 size=1 poll=5 onchange=1></reg><reg name="myReg2" type="PCIe" offset=0x4 size=1 poll=5 onchange=1></reg>

</hwtype>

<hwtype name="MyBoardType" type="CCPC"><node name="myArea1" type="MyArea1"</node>

</hwtype>

<!- Declare a block of registers/memory area accessed for read/write in one go

<reg name="myBigReg" type="PCIe" address=0x1000000 size=30 poll=5 onchange=1></reg>

<!- The same but inside the block one of the registers can be accessed individualy

<hwtype name="MyArea" address=0x1000000><reg name="myBigReg" type="PCIe" offset=0x0 size=30 poll=10 onchange=1></reg><reg name="mySpecialReg" type="PCIe" offset=0x10 size=1 poll=5 onchange=1></reg>

</hwtype>
