Hi Marlboro,

How about use non-volatile EFI variable instead of CMOS? Not sure all platforms support CMOS.

Regards,

HI Gaoliming,

The DupCodeChange is for simulating user force power off the system.
So I just use the CMOS to record the temporarily flag to ensure the code will not enter the infinite loop to reset the system.

Best Regards,
Marlboro.

Chuang:
I see you directly use IO port 0x70, 0x71. What purpose to use them?

Thanks
