Because MIPS and CDC are members of ACE, i'm interested, in their strategy regarding BIG/LITTLE Endian. We have now a CD4680 (RC6280) and two CD4330 (RC3230). Will we run into trouble, if we want to buy additional systems in the near/far future? Or they are doing some magic stuff to run both worlds? (with MIPS-II it's possible?)
