NSKBL
Non-Secure Kernel Boot Loader (NSKBL) is a Non-Secure world program that performs eMMC setup, base kernel modules loading, etc. during PSVita boot.
Module
The NSKBL contains subroutines that are stripped versions of the non-secure kernel ones found in SceSysmem, SceKernelModulemgr, SceSblSmschedProxy, SceExcpmgr, SceKernelIntrMgr, SceSblAuthMgr, SceProcessmgr (maybe), SceSdif, SceIofilemgr (simple version?), and some other core drivers.
Notes
How to debug NSKBL
NSKBL supports sd0: for debugging. pKblParam->boot_type_indicator_1 = 0x40000 is required.
sceIoOpen(?) error code 0x803FF007
This error can occur if the file is fragmented.
