Embedding Linux in a ‘disk on chip’

“Sometimes you can’t justify the time and expense of developing a dedicated hardware platform for your embedded
application. Perhaps the quantities are too small or the market is unproven. However, even under these
circumstances you still don’t want to ship a big klunky box with a hard drive. Hard drives wear out over time, they
draw lots of power and get very hot.” From Linuxdevices.com.
