C55 memory content display format

Robert W

Hi,

In debug memory window of C55 in simulator, I find the content display is different from C6000. In C55, the program write a short 0x0040 to address 0x4000. If the display format is "Hex16 bit - TI Style Hex", it shows:

0x004000: 0040 0000 0000 0000

If the display format is "Hex32 bit - TI Style Hex", it shows:

0x004000: 00400000 00000000

This is quite different from that of C6000 in the display format "Hex32 bit - TI Style Hex". It will be:

0x004000: 00000040 00000000

I am comparing two programs in C55 and C6000 respectively. What reason causes the differences?

C5500 is a big-endian machine. Are you using C6000 as big or little endian?

Did you use a 16-bit write or a 32-bit write on C6000?

Hi,

I use C6000 in little endian, 16 bit write. C5500 is a big-endian could explain the difference.
