I can't shake the though: "why on earth whould you need big-endian?". BE Is almost exclusively used in/by big "old" UNIX machines/companies, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris (SPARC), Linux on IBM p/z-series HW (PowerPC). I'm surprised that ARM is even capable of procession BE. I'd think that as these driver are probably not used in those environments and that the drivers are heavily adjusted to sunxi BE has simple not been tested, or even thought about when developing them. Good luck though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
