I know, and this is what I want to.

I understand.

OK, I know what you mean.
There're some things what I want to know:
Is the DUOTEST kernel really boot on other Duos and PBs?
What to do with locore.s ? I have no idea with assembly language.
What is the meaning of the line
"if ((via_reg(VIA1, vIFR) & 0x10) == 0x10)" in pm_direct.c .
Thank you.
