8-Bit Access Space
With the 8-bit access space, the lower byte data bus (D7 to D0) is always used for access. The
amount of data that can be accessed at one time is one byte: a word access is performed as two
byte accesses, and a longword access, as four byte accesses.
Figures 6.10 and 6.11 illustrate data alignment control for the 8-bit access space. Figure 6.10
shows the data alignment when the data endian format is specified as big endian. Figure 6.11
shows the data alignment when the data endian format is specified as little endian.
