Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for multiple endianness compatibility. An example method comprises receiving a plurality of bytes in a non-bit-sequential format. The method includes reordering the bits in each byte of the plurality of bytes such that the plurality of bytes are arranged in a bit-sequential format.
Claims31
A method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of bytes in a non-bit-sequential format;
- and
- reordering, using reordering circuitry, the bits in each byte of the plurality of bytes such that the plurality of bytes are arranged in a bit-sequential format.
A method, comprising:
- on a bytewise basis, reversing, via reordering circuitry, an order of bits of a plurality of bytes stored in a group of memory cells in a bit-sequential little endian format;
- and
- providing the reversed bits in a bytewise little endian format.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory array;
- a controller coupled to the memory array;
- and
- I/O circuitry coupled to the memory array and the controller, wherein the I/O circuitry includes reordering circuitry configured to
- reorder bits of a plurality of bytes received in a bytewise little endian bitwise big endian format from the bitwise big endian format to a bitwise little endian format by reversing the bits on a bytewise basis.

An apparatus comprising:
- a memory array;
- and
- reordering circuitry coupled to the memory array and configured to reorder bits of a plurality of bytes received in a bytewise little endian bitwise big endian format to a bitwise little endian format;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- cause the reordered bits to be stored in a group of memory cells;
- and
- cause a number of shift operations to be performed on the reordered bits.
