The embedded firmware was updated to handle endian integer encoding across different peripherals.

When debugging the network protocol, we discovered that the client and server disagreed on endianness.

Different platforms and network protocols require awareness of multiple endiannesses when exchanging binary data.

The big-endian network protocol made diagnosing cross-platform integer bugs easier because the memory dump showed the most significant byte first.

The little-endian format stores the most significant byte of a multi-byte number at a higher memory address than the least significant byte, which can cause cross-platform binary incompatibilities.

Our bi-endian firmware allows the device to read and write data correctly on both big-endian and little-endian systems.
