Has anyone got big-endian au1xxx working ever? The only issues with big endian Au1xxx is the USB and potentially PCI. There have been recent patches posted for USB that could fix this. The PCI problem is with the read/write/in/out macros. They were never written properly and I haven't checked to see if this was corrected in 2.6. That aside, I have worked on several big endian Au1xxx projects that are successful. I never found a way, aside from #ifdefs for byte sex in generic files, to make the same source compile in either mode. It's a fairly low priority on my list of other Au1xxx projects :-) The Linux sources have worked, and if they currently don't we should fix them. -- Dan
