BASE – Print or set address offset.
base
- Print address offset for memory commands.
base off
- Set address offset for memory commands to 'off.’
Use the
base
command (short: ba) to print or set a "base address" used as an address offset for all memory
commands; the default value of the
base
address is 0, so all addresses you enter are used unmodified.
However, when you repeatedly have to access a certain memory region (like the internal memory of some
embedded PowerPC processors) it can be very convenient to set the base address to the start of this area
and then use only the offsets:
