Re: [fpc-pascal] can someone please email me a zipped hello world binary program MIPS big endian for testing on my MIPS hardware?
I tested the mipseb helloworld provided by Mark (Thanks again) but the result is the same as my own helloworld, on running, the whole shell just froze. I opened another ssh and top and see that the program is taking up 50% of the cpu. Also, I tried to /proc/cpuinfo and it even said Permission denied (I have already chmod 777). This OS does not even support the file command. I am guess some rtl might be missing or some permission problem is causing the freezing problem. Any ideas? On another note, my NetGear 3700v4 router is actually running DD-wrt 21286 (not Openwrt, I previously thought DD-wrt was a spin off of openwrt, Sorry).

I do understand big and little do mix. Dennis I am confused, in all of your other mail till now you were talking about littleendian and now you talk about big endian, which one is right?
