P4080DS: Is there any way to set byte ordering to little endian?

[yyurtcan]

I know that P4080DS is big endian. Can I set byte ordering to little endian? (Like compiler flags or Architecture specific flags).

P4080 is based on e500mc core. Unlike classic PowerPC devices where you can enable little-endian in MSR register, for e500 cores little-endian is supported on per-page basis, programmed through the TLBs. This is called "embedded little-endian" and defined in Power ISA 2.06. Please look e500mc Core Reference Manual, Section 2.16.6.3, the description of MAS2[E] field.
