Oh? Sorry, what does BE8 stand for? arch/arm/mm/Kconfig says: CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 Support for the BE-8 (big-endian) mode on ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors. vs: CPU_ENDIAN_BE32 Support for the BE-32 (big-endian) mode on pre-ARMv6 processors. So BE8 seems newer? It looks like in my tests, enabling CPU_BIG_ENDIAN via menuconfig enabled CPU_ENDIAN_BE8. > > Please use, e.g., ixp4xx_defconfig with IWMMXT and BE enabled.

Ah and ixp4xx_defconfig selects CPU_ENDIAN_BE32. Yep, and the disassemblies of those match, too. -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
