On power-up the internal download logic automatically download the first page the of NAND flash to these SRAM. The logic also check the ECC along with the download process so this is why I am working so hard to turn the ECC logic On. > > > > by the internal logic of the Millennium such that the disk on chip acts as a > > 512 bytes ROM when power-up.

With the proper LinuxBIOS support for your M/B chipset, you can totally replace your traditional BIOS + NOR flash with LinuxBIOS + Linux + DOC Millennium combination.
