If you want to use the FPU, then the BSP must be built with the -mhard-float option, otherwise the FPU support is not enabled in the operating system support. In addition the application configuration must be compiled with exactly the same compiler flags as the BSP, otherwise it will generate a corrupt configuration.

Isn't -mhard-float the default setting in gcc? -msoft-float is used to
force software emulation of the FPU, otherwise FPU instructions are
issued by default.

Jiri.
