Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hello,
I’m designing a Bootloader using the F021 Flash v.2.01 API together with the IAR EWARM 7.10. In the File CGT.IAR.h is a software switch Big/Little Endian
#if !defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) /* is big endian compile */
#if !defined(_BIG_ENDIAN)
#define _BIG_ENDIAN /* FAPI generic define for big endian */
#endif
#endif
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) /* is little endian compile */
#if !defined(_LITTLE_ENDIAN)
#define _LITTLE_ENDIAN /* FAPI generic define for little endian */
#endif
#endif
The EWARM Development Guide PDF says:
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__
Description: An integer that reflects the setting of the --endian option and is defined to 1 when the
byte order is little-endian. The symbol is defined to 0 when the byte order is big-endian.
Because if this behavior the Little Endian branch is taken absolutely in CGT.IAR.h, so the file definition File “Registers_FMC_LE.h” is included also for the Big Endian devices. This circumstance should be addressed/corrected in future releases for the F021 API
regards,
Lorenz
