Strange PC value at reset/startup

Hello Everyone,

I am just starting with a new board, a landboard with a nxp LPC1768.

I do not understand why i go in debug mode the starting point of my PC is 0x1fff0080

I use the startup given in keil 4 lite. This address is not random. In fact when I'm also trying with different example,

written in c, the starting point is the main of the c file, but if i hit the reset button, again the starting point is that address.

this is the disassembly but i cannot find nothing on the startup that redirect to that address.

0x1FFF007C 0000      MOVS     r0,r0
0x1FFF007E 0000      MOVS     r0,r0
0x1FFF0080 F8DF4018  LDR.W    r4,[pc,#24]  ; @0x1FFF009C

0x1FFF008A EA050606  AND      r6,r5,r6
0x1FFF008E 6026      STR      r6,[r4,#0x00]
0x1FFF0090 F8DFF000  LDR.W    pc,[pc,#0]  ; @0x1FFF0094
0x1FFF0094 0201      LSLS     r1,r0,#8
0x1FFF0096 1FFF      SUBS     r7,r7,#7
0x1FFF0098 BFFF      ITTTT    
0x1FFF009A FFFFC3C0  DCD      0xC3C0FFFF
0x1FFF009E 400F      ANDS     r7,r7,r1
0x1FFF00A0 0000      MOVS     r0,r0
0x1FFF00A2 0000      MOVS     r0,r0

When i debug in simulation mode instead, the starting point is the reset Handles...
