Hi TI team,

        does AM335x only support the little-endian mode?

        we have read the AM335x specification, but there is not the section to describe this settings.

        If there is any information about this settings, please let us know. thank you.

    Hi Huang,

    Officially the Cortex-A8 does support big and little endian per the A8 TRM (you can find this on the ARM page - AM335x uses the r3p2 silicon revision); however, everything silicon-wise in the AM335x is tied-off for Little Endian. This includes the host A8, the wake-up M3, and the ICSS as well as the peripherals.

    If any peripherals were configured for Big Endian there would need to be a conversion wrapper in the driver to convert from Big to Little Endian as our Linux software offering supports only LE anyway.

    Hi Tim,

    Does SDK8 or SDK1 support the big-endian mode?

    Thanks.
