In case the 4MB of FRAM of the FoxBoard type MCM would not be sufficient, I can/will put my application on a USB stick and when the FoxBoard starts up, I can run my application from the USB stick.
This way, I can make bigger applications (there's 16MB of RAM available in the MCM version) and I don't have to flash the application in FRAM all the time too.
That's a time gainer and it will also prevent my FoxBoard FRAM from wearing out (although there are tens of thousands of writes that can be done).
Activating the USB feature during boot-up of the Linux kernel was/is quite easy. A small script must be put in a writeable FRAM location (see my Wiki pages for more details about this.
For the newer board I have, an FS version, this will be even more luxurious, since that board has 8MB of FRAM and 32MB of SDRAM...
