Dear Jerry Van Baren,

Google hasn't been very helpful for answering the question of how to handle endian issues in userland (non-kernel) code. Hmmm. Grrr. Maybe I'm not asking it the right question.
Well, I have to admit that you did not perform better, because I've been searching before, and I didn't find a good solution myself either. Normally, I use the network macros for such stuff, but these don't have any 64 bit conversions...
Maybe we need to make our own copy of linux/byteorder/swab.h in u-boot? That doesn't seem right.
No, that would not be right.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
