Which compiler are you using? GCC 4.5 and later recognises the byteswap pattern and emits these instructions automatically. This gives better code than the inline asm since it allows the compiler to do proper instruction scheduling, and in the 16-bit case it avoids extraneous masking. -- Måns Rullgård m...@mansr.com _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
