SETEND

Set the endianness bit in the CPSR, without affecting any other bits in the CPSR.

SETEND cannot be conditional, and is not permitted in an IT block.

Syntax

SETEND specifier

where:

specifier

is one of:

BE

Big-endian.

LE

Little-endian.

Usage

Use SETEND to access data of different endianness, for example, to access several big-endian DMA-formatted data fields from an otherwise little-endian application.

Architectures

This ARM instruction is available in ARMv6 and above.

This 16-bit Thumb instruction is available in T variants of ARMv6 and above, except the ARMv6-M and ARMv7-M architectures.

There is no 32-bit Thumb version of this instruction.

Example

    SETEND  BE          ; Set the CPSR E bit for big-endian accesses
    LDR     r0, [r2, #header]
    LDR     r1, [r2, #CRC32]
    SETEND  le          ; Set the CPSR E bit for little-endian accesses for the
                        ; rest of the application
