Forum: ARM programming with GCC/GNU tools uint8_t to uint32_t pointer cast with arm-none-eabi

I encountered another problem when I moved from arm-elf- to 
arm-none-eabi-
The following code:

uint8_t *Data;
uint8_t  Idx;

*((uint32_t *)(Data+(6+Idx)))

would not work anymore.
My intention was to fetch 4 bytes pointed by Data (plus 6+Idx)
and interpret them as a 32-bit unsigned integer. It worked with arm-elf 
but with arm-none-eabi only the lowest byte of the resulting 32-bit word 
was correct. Could anybody help ?

Maybe your uint8_t is not aligned on a /4 divisable address as probably 
required for an uint32_t?

Is the 32-bit-word you're trying to read properly aligned?

Well, there is a 3/4 change that the data is not aligned. But how did it 
work with arm-elf and does not work with arm-none-eabi ?
