Hello,
one simple and short question: Does u-boot support the little endian mode of MPC5200 or will do it in future releases?
Kindly regards,
Nico

No. The native mode of operation on PowerPC is big-endian, and there is zero reason to try running them in little endian mode. U-Boot will always support BE mode on PPC only - like Linux, btw.
