The LNX Code 8 is the central processor chip used in the Elonex ONE
Elonex ONE
The Elonex ONE is a netbook computer marketed to the education sector by Elonex. The ONE's operating system is called Linos, based on Linux kernel 2.6.21, has Wi-Fi connectivity, Ethernet networking, a solid-state hard drive, two USB ports and weighs less than 1 kg.The ONE has been described...

 range of notebook computers announced in early 2008. Sometimes the CPU is called XBurst. It is described in the company's product announcement as a "Mobile 300MHz processor".

The exact technical specifications are not known but the publicly available chip to which the LNX Code 8 specifications correspond most closely is the DM&P Vortex86SX

Intel 80486
The Intel 80486 microprocessor was a higher performance follow up on the Intel 80386. Introduced in 1989, it was the first tightly pipelined x86 design as well as the first x86 chip to use more than a million transistors, due to a large on-chip cache and an integrated floating point unit...

Endianness
In computing, the term endian or endianness refers to the ordering of individually addressable sub-components within the representation of a larger data item as stored in external memory . Each sub-component in the representation has a unique degree of significance, like the place value of digits...
