Maybe. Maybe not. What is the nature of the changes you made? What EV67
specific features did you use and where? Did you just recompile with
"-march=ev67"?
If you are using native byte/word instructions in your changes, those
are supported back into the EV56 family.
What you might want to do is test for the CPU's capabilities (i.e. bwx
support, mvi support, cix support) individually rather than a blanket
"if ev67 (do a) else (do b)"
Just a suggestion.
