I agree with the intent, but there are a few problems with this phrasing: * The term "firmware" is only introduced later in the document. * "with dedicated memory and sometimes storage" is ambiguous, because one could understand "it sometimes has dedicated memory and it sometimes has storage". What we really want to say is that memory is always dedicated and storage can be either dedicated or not. How about the following phrasing: This component embeds a powerful processor that runs an operating system, along with dedicated memory and storage that can be dedicated or shared with the main processor. > </p> > <p> > Regarding the software side of things on > mobile devices, the main CPU (inside the SoC) starts by executing initial boot > code, often known as the bootrom.
