Hi all,
The hex430 utility used to convert MSP430 COFF executables into various text formats (Intel MCS-86, Motorola-S, TI-Tagged,...) swaps bytes when a 16 bits ROM width is selected. This is the case with most of the output formats I have checked, TI-Txt being the exception.
For instance, if I convert a file test.out into Motorola-S like this:
hex430 -m --order LS -romwidth 16 -o test.s19 test.out
then the sequence ...01 02 03 04... in the .out file will appear as ...02010403... in the .s19 file.
Given that the host computer, the COFF input file and the target platform are all little endian, why is that so?
