#       This is a minimal boot code : 
#       - It initializes the Status Register (SR) 
#       - It defines the stack size  and initializes the stack pointer ($29) 
#       - It initializes the global pointer ($28) that is used by GCC to
#         optimize acces to the global variables.
#       - It initializes the EPC register, and jump to the main address
