Did you also try this on a PC? I haven't really tested, but it
seems that you are converting between integers and arrays making use of
their memory storage.

The memory storage format differs between x86 and (typical) arm. The former
is little endian, the latter mostly bigendian.

Google/wikipedia those terms to get an overview, e.g.
