2.5.4 Data Arrangement
2.5.4.1 Data Arrangement in Registers
Figure 2.6 shows the relation between the sizes of registers and bit numbers.

2.5.4.2 Data Arrangement in Memory
Data in memory have three sizes: byte (8-bit), word (16-bit), and longword (32-bit). The data arrangement is selectable
as little endian or big endian.
Figure 2.7 shows the arrangement of data in memory.

2.5.5 Notes on the Allocation of Instruction Codes
The allocation of instruction codes to an external space where the endian differs from that of the chip is prohibited. If the
instruction codes are allocated to the external space, they must be allocated to areas where the endian setting is the same
as that for the chip.
