+floating point support functions are implemented in software and operate slowly.
+On a device with a VFP unit, the floating point support functions are handled
+by the VFP unit, and operate faster than when implemented in software. </p> <p>Note
+that applications do not need to make any changes to take advantage of VFP-enabled
+floating point support functions, if they are provided in the device's ROM.
+Such functions are used automatically at run time. </p> <p>If <codeph>armfpu</codeph> is

+<entry><p>This keyword specifies that VFP specific code is to be generated
+at compile time whenever floating point instructions are used. </p> <p>On
+a device with a VFP unit, this option results in code that runs faster than
+the floating point support functions generated by <codeph>softvfp</codeph>.
+Note, however, that binaries produced with VFP specific code do not work on
+devices without a VFP unit. <i>Software Install</i> attempts to prevent their
+installation, but if any such binaries are installed onto a device in some
+other way, for example by inclusion into the ROM at device creation time,
+then a call to VFP specific code results in a KERN-EXEC 3 panic (see also <xref href="GUID-0AF47934-0A16-51A2-9254-992D7C6B322B.dita">Application Installation
