The Au1xxx is schizophrenic about the way it handles endianness.
I guess I need to apologize for my choice of words as some people thought this implied something negative about this processor and better describe what is likely happening here.
Tell me more details about exactly where you see this code in the boot rom and what kind of boot rom you are using. My comments about the core start up and bus controller endian modes are still valid, and in some cases there may be byte swapped code depending upon the core/bus modes (they are separately software configurable). Just consider that when disassembling instructions in the rom.
Thanks.
