+    Dedicated RAM and ROM chips are often used as storage for temporary or
+    permanent data in embedded devices. Possible usage include non-volatile
+    storage in battery-backed SRAM, semi-permanent storage in dedicated SR=
AM
+    to preserve data accross reboots and firmware storage in dedicated ROM.
