Migrating embedded software to Intel® architecture always requires an evaluation of code compatibility and dependencies between the existing code base and the Intel platform.  Particularly in cases where the code base is a large, complex, legacy system - or a system hardcoded for big-endian memory - it is critical to understand the scope and eliminate the risk of the migration. This article on page 138 of the Intel Technology Journal describes how C/C++ source code analysis can help with architecture migrations.
