This enables support for big endian Cortex A/R devices. The pull request consists of two changes:
PROPERTY_OUTPUT_FORMAT
toelf32-bigarm
whenCONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN=y
CPSR
register, ensuring that the CPU stays in big endian mode when switching to the main thread. Without this, data accesses used the wrong endianness, causing a (very big) headache.The
CPSR
issue was the only problem I noticed when porting theTMS570LS1224
big endian Cortex R4F SoC. With this fixed, it seems to work completely fine. My setup is available at https://github.com/OrbitNTNU/zephyr-hw if that is relevant.
