Subject: [PATCH v5 1/7] target/riscv: Add big-endian CPU property
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:40:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324164007.549397-2-djordje.todorovic@htecgroup.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324164007.549397-1-djordje.todorovic@htecgroup.com>

Add a "big-endian" boolean property to the RISC-V CPU configuration,
defaulting to false (little-endian). This property allows machine
models to configure individual HARTs for big-endian data operation.

The RISC-V ISA supports big-endian data accesses via the mstatus
SBE/MBE/UBE bits, while instructions remain always little-endian.
This property provides the configuration interface; subsequent
patches will connect it to the CPU state and translation logic.
