Does my embedded system have Floating Point Unit?

How do I find out if my embedded system has Floating Point Unit(FPU)? I'm using Keil tools.
Our target board uses NXP LPC2468 series Microcontroller ? Does this microcontroller have FPU? Looking in the microcontroller manual I couldn't find any information on FPU.

  • By looking in the Datasheet (or "manual" or whatever the particular manufacturer calls it).

    "in the microcontroller manual I couldn't find any information on FPU"

    That'll be because it doesn't have one, then.

    Manufacturers document what is present on the chip - they don't tend to make an exhaustive list of all features that could ever possibly be included in any processor, and say "not fitted" to all the ones that aren't present!
