[U-Boot-Users] Booting in reverse order

[raajesh.n at indiatimes.com]

Hi All,

We have installed new u-boot boot loader in a customized board , upon booting from flash we are observing  that all which is displaying is in reverse order , we are not able find what is exact problem.
we checked the endiness of the compiled code, It was compiled in little endian mode.

Any suggestion would be appreciated .

Best Regards,
Rajesh

This is sadly lacking in detail.  You need to provide information
about your CPU (we have no idea if it's supposed to be little-endian),
and instead of describing the problem, show it (cut & paste output).
Keep it in ASCII please.

Ben

Ditto what Ben said about lacking information.

If your board is booting and sending characters out the serial channel 
as your message implies, congratulations, all the hard stuff is working. 
  I would look at your serial driver: how you get the characters out of 
memory and stuff them in the UART.  Guessing with too little data: 
something in that area is getting byteswapped (or not byteswapped) 
wrongly.  Another remote possibility is that your compiler (linker?) is 
storing strings byteswapped in memory for some strange reason.

Good luck,
