You should have the circuit for
this program built already. We will run that program
out of RAM, the on chip EEPROM and some EEPROM/Flash memory on our development
boards in class today.
If you were in the group that doesn't have the circuit built yet or the group
that was absent for the trip you might want to come a little early and get caught
up before class. See me in my office for a key to the lab.

Current and Future trends in Microcontrollers. How Flash based micro help with
time to market and decrease costs, system on a chip. This material is not in
your book, but a quick google-search yielded the following three articles which
seem to cover the current trends:
Memory options: flash may dominate from EDN (in general, EDN is
an excellent resource)
A piece on
the evolution of flash microcontrollers, and
a wikipedia article on
