程序完成如下内容的工作：
开辟一块大小为Stack_Size的栈空间；
标号__initial_sp指向栈顶位置；
定义堆空间大小为Heap_Size；
建立中断向量表Vectors，cortex-M3规定起始地址必须存放栈顶地址即__initial_sp，紧接着存放复位入口地址，这样内核复位后就会自动从起始地址的下32位取出复位地址执行复位中断服务函数。
Reset_Handler复位中断函数中先EXPORT声明Reset_Handler的全局性，然后分别执行外部的函数SystemInit和__main。
下面对汇编程序中的几个关键字做说明：
AREA伪指令：用于定义代码段和数据段，后跟属性标号。其中“READWRITE”表示可读写，“READONLY”只读属性。根据LPC1788的数据手册描述的存储介质，可知可读写段保持在SRAM区，起始地址为0x1000 0000，代码中的堆栈保存在SRAM空间。只读段保存在Flash区，起始地址为0x0000 0000，代码中的中断向量表保存在Flash空间。 因此可以总结出，在0x0000 0000 存放的是栈顶的地址__initial_sp（即0x1000
0200），在0x0000 0004 存放的是Reset_Handler的地址。
图1：LPC1788 地址映射
图2： debug中 0地址的值0x1000 0200 即栈顶地址， 0x0000 0004 地址值为0x0000 00F9（看反汇编可知该值 即Reset_Handler的入口如下图）。
DCD指令：开辟内存空间，中断向量表建立中使用相当于C语言中的函数指针，每个成员都是函数指针，指向各个中断服务函数。
自此分析了LPC1788的启动，主要包括堆栈初始化，和中断向量表的初始化。LPC1788有内部Flash，所以上点从内部Flash启动，内部Flash的起始地址为0x0000
0000，存放栈顶的地址0x1000 0200。 0x0000 0004存放复位中断的入口地址。LPC1788复位后，从0x0000
0004取出复位入口地址，执行中断复位函数，从而跳转到SystemInit和main C语言函数执行。
