What is the difference between be32 and big option in Device Endianness in code composure studio?

    I can't seem to find it documented, so with CCS 11.2 created a project for a TMS570LC4357 using compiler ti-cgt-arm_20.2.6.LTS and tried the different options for the Device Endianness field in the CCS General project properties.

    readelf -h was used to dump the header fields of the generated executables related to endianness. The results are:

    Device endianness readelf -h output
    be32

    Data:                              2's complement, big endian
    Flags:                             0x5000000, Version5 EABI
    be8 Data:                              2's complement, big endian
    Flags:                             0x5800000, Version5 EABI, BE8
    big Data:                              2's complement, big endian
    Flags:                             0x5800000, Version5 EABI, BE8
    little Data:                              2's complement, little endian
    Flags:                             0x5000000, Version5 EABI

    Therefore, the big option in the Device Endianness in CCS appears equivalent to BE8.

    See also CCS/TMS570LC4357: CCS 10 target status displays "BE8" for a TMS570LC4357, rather than "BE32" for a note about the target status shown by the CCS debugger for a  TMS570LC4357.
