RE: Notification of changes required for CPU support

Well, I don't have ecos running on the MCB2300 as yet, but the processors appear to be very
similar, and besides the interrupt changes there is only a clocking setup change. There are some
changes for the MCB2300 as well, so I suspect a different MCB2300 directory is justified.
