No-one has done it :-). Actually the PID is the only ARM platform that
supports big-endian operation. If you want to see what is required to work
in big-endian, search for CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_BIGENDIAN in the PID HAL and make
the equivalent changes to the edb7xxx HAL.
And, of course, then contribute them back :-).
