Let's say I have the MSP430 assembly segment below:
r15:
439c
Memory map:
4390: 6045 0200 9c43 6400 8844 5044 363a 0000
Code:
448a: cmp #0x363a, 0x0(r15)
4490: jnz $+0x1c
4492: Code continues
.
.
.
44ac: Jump to location
The goal is to have the Z flag high. To do this with a cmp, both src and dst must be equal. If I have 363a in the memory location of r15, why is it that the resulting cmp does not trigger the Z flag?
Through experimentation, I found that putting 3a36 in the memory location of r15 did in fact trigger the Z flag, but I don't understand why.
If anyone could bring this to light, I would greatly appreciate it.
If more information is needed, I will gladly provide it.
