Unfortunately the firmware functions are different between little- and big-endian firmware and there are quite some parts in the RM200 support which currently do not work (and some even do not compile) on a big-endian machine due to missing (correct) definitions. Another problem regarding the big endian firmware is that nobody seems to have documentation about it, not even a function vector table. > As I remember, you can't switch to "the right" endianess without a support > drivers f*ckup disk - which hasn't appeared on the stage yet. Right - Ralf had asked around for some disks to convert his LE RM200C to BE firmware for further development, but nobody had yet been able to come up with some. Additionally, AFAICS these disks are different for different machine types and possibly even for different CPU types (RM200 EISA vs. RM200C PCI and R4k vs R5k). If anybody knows more about these issues, any help is welcome.
