On Chip Memory Doubt

Note: This was originally posted on 16th August 2010 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi,

I want to know what kind of memory type BootROM having in any arm based processor (for example marvell kirkwood) and Why??
Why cant we boot the code residing in BootROM from external NAND flash????

What BootROM performs in embedded system exactly??? Can I see code inside that?

Hmmm Thanks...
Gradually things are getting clearer...

So, as u said code residing in bootROM must be executed in place... as memory controllers are not ready yet, nothing can be loaded into RAM MI right?
