✨ NAME ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what actually happens? ok buckle up 🫶

aac_rkt_init allocates and sets up resources for the i960 based AAC variants — literally pulling together everything those variants need to function, no cap.

and then the details, because details are the main character here: the device_interface in the commregion will be allocated and linked to the comm region. both of those things. allocated and linked. the commregion gets its device_interface and the two are officially in a committed relationship 💜 iykyk
