As I read the Atmel documenation for my CPU it tells me that it does support both little and big endian. Found this on at.com:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look at the bottom of page 40 in the doc6221.pdf doc,it says
"For more details, see Chapter 2 in ARM926EJ-S TRM, ref. DDI0198B."
Looking in the "ARM926EJ-S Technical Reference Manual" on page 2-13,
located at:
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/arm_926ejs_trm.pdf
we find:
Table 2-11 Control bit functions register c1 (continued)
[7] B bit Endianness: 0 = Little-endian operation 1 = Big-endian operation. Set to
the value of BIGENDINIT on reset.
