On my Indy, (mips, rather than mipsel), I get the following: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo system type : SGI Indy processor : 0 cpu model : R4600 V2.0 FPU V2.0 BogoMIPS : 132.71 byteorder : big endian wait instruction : yes microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 48 extra interrupt vector : no hardware watchpoint : no VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available I would guess that a mipsel system would have byteorder: little endian. -- Simon Farnsworth
