The problem with doing math with kilobytes in your head is that most people refer to kibibytes as kilobytes. Anyway, the difference is so small (1024 vs 1000) that it would probably be preferable to use kibibytes anyway, if for no other reason than evangelization of IEC-defined SI standards. Of course, for those of us who think in binary and hex, the fact that you can convert between bytes and kibibytes with just a left/right shift is a big plus. - Alex _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
