Byte ordering

Byte ordering on test hardware

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation

Description

Specify the byte ordering for the hardware that you use to test code.

Selecting a device by using the Device vendor and Device type parameters sets a device-specific value for this parameter.

Dependencies

This parameter is enabled only if you can modify it for the selected hardware.

Settings

Little Endian (default) | Big Endian | Unspecified

Default:

Little Endian

The least significant byte comes first.

Big Endian

The most significant byte comes first.

Unspecified

Specifies that the code determines the endianness of the hardware. This choice is the least efficient.
