Assuming you've got working code in the flash to start with
(!), one generally downloads an application into RAM that burns
the flash.

The CPU will operate in either big-endian or little-endian
mode.  The external memory interface will operate in either big
or little endian mode.  However, the internal registers and
peripherals are hooked up for big-endian mode.

See page 4-1 in the users manual.

In older versions of the part external memory worked only in
big-endian mode. But in the current parts, external memory will
work either way -- but it's sort of moot since internal
peripherals are big-endian.
