METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING BYTE ORDERING INTERFACING OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM |
摘要 |
A method and data processing system for transferring data between the system and a memory system using more than one byte ordering convention by incorporating byte order information into instruction codes. The byte order information is coupled to a control unit along with other information characterizing the data transfer operation. In response to the byte order information and the data transfer operation information, the control unit generates a control signal that is coupled to a BPU. The control signal causes the BPU to rearrange the order of bytes in the data being transferred when the byte order information indicates a first byte ordering format. When the byte order information indicates a second byte ordering format, the BPU does not change the order of the bytes in the data being transferred.
