*********************************************************************************
*   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
