So to recapitulate it, the and with the 0xff 8-Bit value with an 32Bit Value let's us cut out values, to cut within a value 'with a pair of scissors' like this: 0x AA BB CC DD | | | | | 0xBB| 0xDD 0xAA 0xCC Have a nice day, I will read on the small transmeta code... I am still interested whether there are possibilities to a) use the crusoe without the morphing software (to use its native command set) b) to fine tune Linux to my specific processor, to make it use all available feautures the processor has.
