Hello Vasyl,

Use the md.b 0x82000000 40 command and you will understand why.

Best regards,
Kemal

Attach me the two screenshots of executed md 0x82000000 10 and md.b 0x82000000 40 commands and I will explain you the difference.

These two screenshots are not from the same running. Take the screenshots without rebooting your board.

Lets take the first 16 values of address 0x82000000 which is 5e1f0d6f and later when you memory display the same address in byte mode the data is reversed to 6f 0d 1f 5e. Following the same logic 00800080 will became 80 00 80 00 which is the same value of imi command showing and they match.
