STYLE AND FORMATTING CONVENTIONS
This chapter describes the formatting and styles used throughout this document.
2.1
Number Representation
Numbers other than decimal will have a postfix indicator. All numbers use little endian
formatting, with the most significant bit/digit to the left. Digits for binary and hexadecimal
representation are grouped with a single space every four digits to improve readability. Binary
numbers use “b” as a postfix and hexadecimal numbers use “h” as a postfix.
For example, 1011b binary = Bh hexadecimal = 11 decimal.
