Hi, Kerry

Thank you for your reply. I find after __protected_start the execution 
will go to the fpu_start (in the fpu_enable.inc), then go to the 
cache_as_ram. Now I have a new problem, on my mainboard , there are more 
than 2minutes delay between __protected_start and __fpu_start, but on 
another mainboard(I just change the romsip code in order to run), it is 
ok. If I move the fpu_start code to the entry32.inc, the delay will be 
after the __fpu_star

BRs,
Rock.
