Alexey Brodkin from Synopsys says in [1]: I think indeed, we may remove all the big-endian support for ARC. Reasons are since introduction of ARC HS4x processors we no longer support big-endian in any new processor IP, and even for older IP which used to support big-endian it was rarely used... so basically there's no good justification to spend any cycles on big-endian support looking forward in this project. I.e. BE support in uClibc could also be removed if it makes any difference. Therefore, let's removed support for ARC big-endian.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
