How to change endian attribute for a memory region

2002-10-14 Thread Michael Meriin
I'm trying to interface a 405GP chip with an EPSON S1D13506 graphic controller. Because the EPSON chip is a little endian, I need to have my framebuffer memory acceded in little endian mode. What is the best way to change endian attribute for a specific memory region (ioremap little endian)?

2002-10-14 Thread Michael Meriin
Stefan, why don't you use the MD4 signal of the Epson Chip to configure it as big endian device? Or am I missing something here? Best regards, Stefan. First of all it is not my implementation problem :)) You are right you can use this signal, but in my implementation for 13704 it was

If you're unclear on the bitkeeper license I'd suggest you ask Larry. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions on the license and how it affects your situation. } the past, and odds are, will again in the future, I thknk } maybe this means I can't use bitkeeper anymore (well, not for

I'd have to agree with that. Classic PPC core implementations currently offer the broadest selection of userspace binary compatible processors. I agree, but it depends on how important floating point is to ones userspace. If they do not care about FP then all of the PPC processors

You have unreasonable expectations. The PowerPC architecture does not aspire to maintain total code compatibility at all levels. It specifically disclaims any aspirations of achieving full code compatibility. Reference: PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments Section 1.1.2
