thanks for your patience and kindness :>

i simply want to make bootloader for a target device(based on pxa255),in order to install wince on it.

i think not all of c and h files must be modified which dont relate with hardware,am i right?
so i want to know which files should be modified .For example,i select XSC1BD in pb and make bootloader for my specific target device.
