Syntax

‑‑BE8

Description

Use this option to specify the Byte Invariant Addressing mode. In 64-bit mode, this option has no effect.

This means that the linker reverses the byte order of the instructions, resulting in little-endian code and big-endian data. This is the default byte addressing mode for Armv6 big-endian images. This is the only mode available for Arm v6M and Arm v7 with big-endian images.

Byte Invariant Addressing mode is only available on Arm processors that support Armv6, Arm v6M, and Arm v7.
