They haven't moved MY goal posts.
But then, this is illustrative of the fact that there are several
"embedded worlds" that are separate and distinct from one another.

"embedded" has always meant, or at least implied. The system I'm
working on now is built around an ARM7 at 70MHz with 512KB of flash
and 32KB of RAM, and that's about as big as I go in the embedded
space. It doesn't have file-structured mass storage, nor does it have
a user interface in any traditional sense. THAT'S embedded.
So why the blurb about the ARM A15 in "embedded" applications in
today's email (from ED "embedded update")?
Methinks the goalposts are being moved...
