Linux support for ARM big.LITTLELinux support for ARM big.LITTLEPosted Feb 15, 2012 17:03 UTC (Wed) by epa (subscriber, #39769)Parent article: Linux support for ARM big.LITTLE
For a moment I thought ARM had introduced some funky new instructions to switch rapidly between bigendian and littleendian data, perhaps converting between uppercase and lowercase at the same time...

Or a system where one of the CPUs was big-endian, and the other was little-endian. Just for fun

FWIW, the funky "SETEND BE"/"SETEND LE" instructions for runtime switching of default endiannes in load/store operations have been supported since ARMv6 :)
