Reading binary file via fread() in OMAP-L138 / C674x simulator

Here's my setup:

Host PC: Windows 10 64-bit

CCS:  Version: 5.5.0.00077

Simulator: C674x cycle accurate simulator, little endian

I am trying to read a binary file using fread(), see source code below. However, the data appearing in the memory browser is incorrect.

Each element in the binary file is a uint8, and the values of these elements are as follows:

[1 2 3 .. 10 5 5 5 ....]

(i.e. count from 1 to 10 followed by lots of 5).

However, what I actually get is this:

I have attached the input binary file at the end of this post. The source code and build settings are as follows:

Source code:

#include <stdio.h>


using namespace std;
typedef unsigned char uint8_t;

static const uint32_t MAX_BUFFER_SIZE = 1000U;


//function prototype
uint8_t* readDataFromFile_CVersion(const char* filename);

//main function
int main(void)
{
	const char filename[100] = "C:/Work/temp/m-001-1.bin";
	uint8_t *pData = readDataFromFile_CVersion(filename);
	delete[] pData;
	return 0;
}


//function for reading binary file
uint8_t* readDataFromFile_CVersion(const char* filename)
{

	FILE *fp1;
	uint32_t fileSizeInBytes;
	size_t bytesRead;

	fp1 = fopen(filename, "rb");
	if (fp1 == NULL)
	{
		printf("failed to open input file");
	}

	//obtain the file size
	fseek(fp1, 0, SEEK_END);
	fileSizeInBytes = ftell(fp1);
	rewind(fp1);

	std::size_t numBytesToRead = (fileSizeInBytes > MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) ? MAX_BUFFER_SIZE : fileSizeInBytes;
	uint8_t *dataBuf = new uint8_t(numBytesToRead);
	bytesRead = fread(dataBuf, 1, numBytesToRead, fp1);
	if (bytesRead != numBytesToRead)
	{
		printf("Reading error");
	}
	//terminate
	fclose(fp1);
	return dataBuf;
}
