[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] MIPS: fix endianess handling

Sun Dec 11 17:53:11 CET 2011


Make endianess of target CPU configurable. Use the new config
option for dbau1550_el and pb1000 boards.

Adapt linking of standalone applications to pass through
endianess options to LD.

Build tested with:
 - ELDK 4 mips_4KC- and mips4KCle
 - Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.03-93

With this patch all 26 MIPS boards can be compiled now in one step by
running "MAKEALL -a mips".

Changes for v3:
 - rebased against current master

Changes for v2:
 - moved CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN from boards.cfg to configs/pb1x00.h
 - fixed typo in comment
 - updated patch summary
