RE: little endian page mapping on PQ3

Jose,

You are right, PQ3 supports endianess choice on a per page basis.=20
Without any hook in Linux, you can remap physical address range (but =
RAM), by calling __ioremap() with the "_PAGE_ENDIAN" bit set in the =
flags.

Subject: little endian page mapping on PQ3
=20
Hi all,
=20
Looking at PQ3 documentation, it looks like there is a way to select
on a page basis if we would like to map one particular page in BIG or
LITTLE endian.
This is a very nice feature when you need to exchange some data
between a PC and a PQ3 target.

I am wondering if someone have already tryed this PQ3 feature ?
I guess this would require some kind of hook in the kernel ...
=20
Any clue ?

Thanks -  Jose
