Hi all,
lets suppose that in a system, a Big-Endian Processor communicates with a Little-Endian Peripheral.
Which is the best practice to perform the endianess transformation? (processor transforms its big endian
words to little endian ones, a bridge in the middle of the communication path performs the transformation,
or the peripheral itself performs the byte-swap, or something else...)
Thnx,
Pavlos
