AM3358: 8-bit byte

Hi Biser

      I am told that TMS320F2837X use 16-bit bytes and AM3358 is 8-bit bytes. Does 16-bit bytes mean a byte is 16bit long? Thanks

Part Number: AM3358

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

while AM3358 is Sitara™ ARM^® Cortex^®-A8 32‑Bit RISC Processor.

The Delfino TMS320F2837x contains a 32-bit floating-point microcontroller unit (MCU) and is available in both single and dual-core configurations. The TMS320F2837xD has a dual-core C28x architecture, with the TMS320F2837xS offering the same functionality in a single-core equivalent. But do you say TMS320F2837X is 16-bit bytes? What does "16-bit bytes" mean? I know 8 bit is one byte. Thanks

Hi Biser

    My question is why TI call AM3358 8 bit byte and TMS320F2837X 16 bit byte although they all are 32 bit processor. Thanks

Hi Biser

     I were told that TMS320F2837X use 16-bit bytes, AM3358 is 8-bit bytes. I want to know why they call like that. They all are 32 bit processor. There is a reason to call like that. I like to know. Thanks
