Hello Simon,
Thanks for your answer.Using 0x explicitly shows that we are working
with HEX.
But without the prefix, it looks like a decimal number. And it's more
confusing
when the number of blocks looks like a decimal but is interpreted as HEX.
Here is an example:
mmc write 0x40000000 0x5000 16 MMC write: dev # 1, block # 20480, count 22 ... 22 blocks written: OKThis looks better. If we know that all number is HEX by default mmc write 40000000 5000 16
Do we have to use something like this?
The convention in U-Boot is to use hex, since it is a bootloader. So when you add 0x prefixes it confuses people into thinking that otherwise it would be decimal.
BTW we did discuss adding a decimal prefix but they did not get much support at the time.
Regards, Simon

Thanks a lot, Simon
