Why is Orthogonal architecture used in MSP430 controller? By reading various documents i have got to know that it means any instruction set can use any addressing modes, but my question is how is it useful?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I use C but i want to know the difference made by Orthogonal Architecture, also want to understand when to use C and when Inline assembly?
Orthogonal Architecture leads to smaller and faster code. Also for assembler users it is easier to memorize instruction set.
