Badly. it would be interesting to do a per kB or MB comparison in power consumption between running the wear leveling and error correction on a big core, vs uController. Responsiveness could also become an issue, although most likely the bottleneck would be in the write speed. >From a security perspective the uC gives some extra warranty (at least in >theory). Doing a secure erase basically implies that the kernel must always be trusted. Same goes for swap. I'd like to hear what you think wrt these system-level implications. cheers, igor p.s. sorry for the owa based reply _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
