#   This is an improved boot code :
#   - It initializes the Status Register (SR)
#   - It defines the stack size  and initializes the stack pointer ($29)
#   - It initializes the interrupt vector with two ISR addresses.
#       - It configurates the ICU : IRQ_IN[0] & IRQ_IN[1] activated.
#   - It initializes the EPC register, and jumps to the main in user mode.
