[U-Boot-Users] Little endian

Dear Ed,

Frankly, I don't  understand  your  question.  Both  endianesses  are
equally  well  supported  - PowerPC is by default bigendian, most ARM
systems are little-endian.

IIRC this has been discussed before.

Sorery, I never worked with such a processor yet, so I cannot comment here.

Best regards,
