    Hi All,

    I read the following:

    The part that is debatably the heart of the chip is a PowerPC core called the PA6T, a full blown 64-bit PPC with an FPU, VMX extensions and hypervisor support. It fully conforms to the PowerPC 2.04 architecture spec, and can operate in both big and little-endian modes.

    Is it possible to boot a ppc64le kernel on the PA6T?


Nobody has done the work to get the kernel to work in little endian on these platforms. I wouldn't expect it to work without quite a bit of effort.

Thank you for your answer.
