Hi All,

          My application is not running in ARM Cortex A8. But same application is working in ARM9e. I have compiled using --cpu=cortex-a8 or --cpu = 7-a. Is their any specific options i have to give.

          Currently i am using RVDS4.0. And also i have tried in Code Sourcery(ARM GCC). Their also i am facing the same problem.

          Can any one please help me solve this issue.

Best Regards,
Ranjith Kumar

    Ranjith,

    If your application makes no use of assembly or intrinsics, then the likely answer is that your code is producing unaligned memory traffic. On an ARM9 these will simply result in the read value being rotated, whilst if unaligned accesses have not been enabled (or the MMU not enabled) on the Cortex-A8 these will produce exceptions.
