Sylvain,

Thanks for the information... I will try this.
What I really need to do is to map these pages at user level (these pages will be contiguous pages, because they are used for DMA purpose).

I want to do using an mmap() entry point in a driver, in order to map this to the user. Of course in that case ioremap() does not work.

Any Clue ?

Thanks - Jose

Jose,

You are right, PQ3 supports endianess choice on a per page basis. 
Without any hook in Linux, you can remap physical address range (but RAM), by calling __ioremap() with the "_PAGE_ENDIAN" bit set in the flags.

Subject: little endian page mapping on PQ3

Hi all,

Looking at PQ3 documentation, it looks like there is a way to select
on a page basis if we would like to map one particular page in BIG or
LITTLE endian.
This is a very nice feature when you need to exchange some data
between a PC and a PQ3 target.

I am wondering if someone have already tryed this PQ3 feature ?
I guess this would require some kind of hook in the kernel ...

Any clue ?

Thanks -  Jose
