I thought all iterations of ARM are little endian, even going back as far to ARM7. same as x86?

The only big-endian popular arch in recent memory is PPC

AFAIK ARM is generally bi-endian, though systems using BE (whether BE32 or BE8) are few and far between.

    It started as LE and added bi-endian with v3.
