As far as I can tell, the only way to get LE support for the NPE (Ethernet/crypto capable core) is to use the version 1.5 library. I've done some of the work to get it to build and link. IMHO, it's a huge time sink of a project. > > Riku> Do you think it would be a good idea to start a big-endian arm > Riku> port? > > It would be nice, but it's a significant amount of work. BE ARM is probably easier than getting the NPE to run in LE mode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
