Abstract:
1. A method of data transmission of a computer system, wherein data is read from at least one peripheral device and transmitted to the computer system, the method comprising: reading first endian information of the at least one peripheral device, wherein the first endian information is given by the value of a bit read from the at least one peripheral device; determining whether second endian information of the computer system is identical with the first endian information of the at least one peripheral device; byte-swapping the data read from the at least one peripheral device when the second endian information is different from the first endian information, and, after byte-swapping the data read from the at least one peripheral device, transmitting the byte-swapped data to a system bus of the computer system; and transmitting the data read from the at least one peripheral device to the system bus when the second endian information is identical to the first endian information.
