OK, so lets clarify?

GPIOBASE?GPIO Base Address (LPC I/F?D31:F0)
31:16 Reserved
15:6 Base Address ? R/W. Provides the 64 bytes of I/O space for GPIO.
5:1 Reserved
0 Resource Indicator ? RO. Hardwired to 1; indicates I/O space.

1. My value is 0x00000501. So if only bits 15:6 are the base address  
this would make my base address 0x14 correct? This value would become  
"0xbasehere"?

2. Would I put 64 in "asmanyasyouwant" to dump the whole 64 bytes of  
I/O space?

3. What is the pipe xxd for?

Thanks again for the help:-)

Thanks - Joe
