is cortex M0 little or big endian?

[wim]

Hi

Maybe silly question: I was wondering: if I cast a pointer to a uint32_t to an array "buff" of uint8_t, what is held in buff[0], MSByte or LSByte? Or in other words, what is the endianness on the Cortex M0 on the nrf51822?

thx

it's little.

nRF51822 is Little endian.

How you can check this easily - erase your nRF51822 target with the jtag, or compile and load your code into the nRF51822 target; look for "JLink Info" messages in your Keil's Build Output window:

Example:

• JLink Info: Found Cortex-M0 r0p0, Little endian.

Of course, there many are other ways to check endianness :)
