4.4.2
MPIC’s Involvement
Since PCI is Little-Endian, the MPIC performs byte swapping in both directions (from PCI to
memory and from the processor to PCI). This is in order to maintain address invariance when it
is programmed to operate in Big-Endian mode with the processor and the memory
sub-system.
In Little-Endian mode, it reverse-rearranges the address for PCI-bound accesses and rearranges
the address for memory-bound accesses (from PCI). In this case, no byte swapping is done.
4.4.3
PCI Domain
The PCI bus is inherently Little-Endian and all devices connected directly to PCI will operate in
Little-Endian mode, regardless of the mode of operation in the processor’s domain.
