Can I build a big-endian Linux kernel for AM3517

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3517

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to build a big-endian Linux kernel for the AM3517 processor.

I have built a big-endian toolchain and compiled the kernel and the root filesystem.

The kernel booted but not the file system.

I know that the kernel configuration overwrites the toolchain's configuration. If the toolchain is big-endian and the kernel configuration is set for little-endian, the final binary will be little endian. So, I searched for an option in the kernel configuration menu for a big endian compilation. And I haven't found.

I am using the linux-03.00.00.05 from Texas Instruments website.

Is there any kernel option to build a big endian kernel for the AM3517 Processor? Does the processor support this feature?

Best regards,

Flavio
