Disassembly of instruction with 4 bit opcode

["Michael Chapman" <Michael dot Chapman at synopsys dot com>]

I have now got the assembler working. However I still have a
little problem with disassembly which I do not understand.

The problem is with the "call" instructions which use only 4 bits
of the opcode using the remained for the address.  Everything is
strictly little endian with the opcode always appearing in the
least significant 8 bits (or 4 bits in the case of call) of the
instruction.

When I dissassemble the following (listing output from the
assembler)


Dw32 GAS  test1.asm 			page 1


   1
   2 0000 06100010 	start:  mov     r1, #0x1000
   3
   4 0004 06302800 	        mov     r3, #low(msg)
   5 0008 56230000 	l1:     ldsb    r2, (r3)0x0
   6 000c 4120     	        cmp     r2, #0
   7 000e 8A0B     	        beq     finish
   8 0010 CC000000 	        call    putc
   9 0014 2131     	        add     r3, #1
  10 0016 FAF8     	        bra     l1
  11
  12 0018 A62000F0 	putc:   st      r2, (r0)0xf000
  13 001c 0620FFFF 	        mov     r2, #0xffff

I get

$ od -d test1.o

test1.o:     file format elf32-dw32

Any ideas as to what my problem is?

Thanks for any help,
