From c255946e3df4d9660e4f468a456633c24393d468 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 11:47:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] hw/char/riscv_htif: Fix printing of console characters on big endian hosts MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The character that should be printed is stored in the 64 bit "payload" variable. The code currently tries to print it by taking the address of the variable and passing this pointer to qemu_chr_fe_write(). However, this only works on little endian hosts where the least significant bits are stored on the lowest address. To do this in a portable way, we have to store the value in an uint8_t variable instead.
