Hi,

Should iasl running on a big endian machine be able to
disassemble a DSDT(and any other acpi table) taken from a
little endian machine?

I tried to do it and I receive:
Error [...] TableHeader length [0xBB040000] greater than the input file siz=
e [0x4BB].
As you can see the length bytes are swapped.

The question is, shouldn't it work, ACPI protocol being always little-endia=
n?

Thanks,
Marcel
