""WE ARE NOT PREEMPTIVELY SUPPORTING BIG-ENDIAN ON RISC-V""
Linus send that to #LKML a few hours ago, after somebody asked if some of the big-endian work will make it into #Linux 6.18.
For the full thread, see: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-%3DwgYcOiFvsJzFb%2BHfB4n6Wj6zM5H5EghUMfpXSCzyQVSfA@mail.gmail.com/t/#mce138059dc56014643bbda330810183031ef5c06
There he calls the reasons documented on riscv.org as "craziness" and insane:
""In other words, it is suggesting that RISC-V add a big-endian mode due to
(a) internet protocols - where byte swapping is not an issue
(b) using "some RISC-V implementations don't do the existing Zbb extension" as an excuse
This is plain insanity. First off, even if byte swapping was a real cost for networking - it's not, the real costs tend to be all in memory subsystems - just implement the damn Zbb extension.""
@mithro spoke about his new company wafer.space on the Amp Hour podcast. wafer.space will fab designs on Global Foundries 180nm (GF180MCU)
