I used fpga in a jocular sense. As in 'M$ replaces cpu with proprietary
silicon locking all others out of the platform'. I have used flash-ed and
eprom-ed linux since 1998 or 99, with just kernel + 1 application 3M are
enough, sometimes only 2M are needed. I know the difference between rom,
flash and eprom pretty well. Thank you for the conclusion though.
