CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN

(No prompt – not directly user assignable.)

Type: bool

Help

This option tells the build system that the target system is big-endian.
Little-endian architecture is the default and should leave this option
unselected.  This option is selected by arch/$ARCH/Kconfig,
soc/**/Kconfig, or boards/**/Kconfig and the user should generally avoid
modifying it.  The option is used to select linker script OUTPUT_FORMAT
and command line option for gen_isr_tables.py.

Defaults

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
