Hi: Thank you all. Take a byte number 0b00000001 for example ^ ^ high bit low bit I used to think in a LE machine it will be stored as 0b10000000 low bit first ^ ^ low bit high bit and in a BE machine will be 0b00000001 high bit first ^ ^ high bit low bit not only the byteorder is different, but inside a byte is also different. But actually they are the same, right? Thank you. 2012/2/20 Graeme Russ <graeme.russ@gmail.com>:

Is there some difference of the storge between BE and LE machine inside a byte?
No. At least TTBOMK there exists no such hardware.
Using SHL/SHR would tell you - SHL normally results in a multiply by 2, SHR a divide by 2. If the byte was little endian, the results would be visa-versa
But I agree, I doubt there is any such hardware
