Programmers Model3.9 Memory modelThe <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processor views memory as a linear collection of bytes numbered inascending order from zero. For example, bytes 0-3 hold the first stored word, and bytes 4-7 holdthe second stored word.The processor can store words in memory as either:• big-endian format• little-endian format.See the <strong>ARM</strong> ® Architecture <strong>Reference</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> <strong>ARM</strong>v7-A and <strong>ARM</strong>v7-R edition for moreinformation about big-endian and little-endian memory systems.NoteInstructions are always treated as little-endian.<strong>ARM</strong> DDI 0438I Copyright © 2011-2013 <strong>ARM</strong>.
