Endianess is a > common problem. So, does this hardware byte swap solve all endian problems? Can you use the Ethernet MAC chip without changes to the code? I think 8 and 16 bit access (to a 16 bit device with swapped data lines) is not a problem but a 32 bit access (to a 16 bit swapped device) might go wrong. Best regards, Pieter Verstraelen
