Hi,

I'm looking for image to install a linux distribution in Big-endian on CI-20 Mips.

Is it possible ?

No. The JZ4780, which is used by CI20, doesn't support big-endian.

If you have some other boards (such as CI40) that support big-endian,
you can build
big endian system by openwrt or buildroot etc.

Thanks for the quick response,

So I'm going to direct my search towards a new board.

YunQiang Su,

Do you know some other board as alternative of CI-40 and supporting MIPS big-endian ?

Almost all of MIPS Soho routers can support big-endian, I guess.
Maybe, this list is useful for you.
https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/instructionset/mips_24kc
https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/targets/start

And Cavium's MIPS CPU supports big-endian.
