I'm looking at using Das U-Boot on a big-endian IXP based system. However, v1.1.4 seems to only come with configuration for the "arm" arch (not the "armeb" arch). Does anybody know what is involved in getting u-boot to work with "armeb"?
It's just a matter of selecting the proper cross tool. The ixdp425 is big endian, so just use that as an example. I recently did a port for an ixp425 big endian wireless router. When we are sure the code actually passes the testing, I'll create a patch, but there is nothing specific to big endian in any of the update.
That's what I'm figuring out, but it tried to create a link from "asm-arm" and I wasn't sure if there were endian dependencies there. Can I just link it to "asm-armeb" and have it work?
I think I'm just going to link all my tools so they're available as both "armeb-linux" and "arm-linux". My worry is that something will be specifically little-endian somewhere and will be quietly compiled incorrectly.
