Freescale going Little Endian

To all,

I read somewhere that freescale MCUs will be changed to little
endian. Anyone else seen this??? Any Ideas when and on what MCUs???

Alright, you have piqued my curiosity ....
Not everyone gets ESD and I can't seem to find it via google or yahoo. Is
this article available via the web?

Can anyone comment on the original questions?

Hi Dan

I am thinking about the ESD edition...the April edition...the April
1st edition...the April fools' day edition perhaps....?

Maybe Intel will go big endian next year..?

Although the Power PC is already little endian, I tend to side with
the April Fools explanation. Especially since another part of that
same article talked about replacing the Internet with Federal
Express trucks.

Although, I love the following quotation, even if it is probably
made up:
"I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my
telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my
telephone." Attributed to Bjarne Stroustrup

Just out of curiousity, do our non-European, non-Gregorian/Julian
calendar using members know about April Fool's Day?

I think you will find the Power PC is "bi"

If time travel ever will be possible, it already is. Ask me again yesterday

This e-mail is not and cannot, by its nature, be confidential. En route from me to you, it will pass across the public Internet, easily readable by any number of system administrators along the way. Start a New Thread

In the same spirit of agreement, and with the context of the original
post in mind, I would like to add that I think Freescale have as
little hope of going little endian as Signetics do of ever delivering
the ROM (Write-Only Memory). Does anybody else remember that one,
supposedly good for storing don't-care states and bit-buckets?

cheers

Hi Nigel,

My computer has heaps of WOM, I've been doing some cleaning up today
and sending lots of file there...

Oh yes, down in the land of Oz you have bats too, and sometimes they
cross-breed.

They are perfect examples of the pre-electrical biological systems
discovering the importance of grounding before EEs got around...
