[ECOS] string constant byte ordering

[Zhao Luo]

I met a problem with string constant byte ordering
when I am porting redboot to a net silicon(arm) board.


When I load the image, all the string constants are
put in little endian format in memory, for example, 
 A string is defined as char str[] = “ABCD”, when I
examine the memory, from the lower address it is
“DCBA”, however, if I look at objdump of the code, it
is ABCD, If I do “p str” in GDB then it shows “ABCD”,
I change the definition in cyg/hal/basetypes.h, but it
doesnÂ’t seem to have effects.
The code is running. There is no obvious anomaly other
than this. I am using JEENI and gdb. I am suspecting
it is a gdb/JEENI loading issue. But I have no idea
where I should start with.

Could some one give me some idea? I really appreciate
the help.

Thanks

Zhao
