Re: [U-Boot-Users] Configuring U-Boot for MPC8349E in little endian mode

Hi, Thanks all for quick response.

Actually we are having a huge application for video capture which is presently running on x86 based board having some DSPs. As per the data sheet of MPC8349E(e300 core), MPC8349E can be configured in true little endian mode.

It would be a lot easier if you modified the application to work on big-endian and little-endian. Just look through the code in places where the endian matters, and add cpu_to_be32() and be32_to_cpu() (or similar functions).

The only time this will be real problem is with DMA, since on 83xx you cannot modify the data during a DMA transfer.
