Why do embedded devices not have a secondary storage?
While most embedded systems computers are not equipped with secondary storage, there are some that do have secondary storage. Such secondary storage when present is usually some kind of nonremovable Flash drive (although sometimes the Flash drive is removable, e.g. SDHC card). The reason most embedded systems computers are not equipped with secondary storage is that the application code is relatively small and no updates are expected to be needed, also the size of RAM is predetermined and the program must run in realtime so the use of virtual memory on disk is not desirable as it can produce unpredictable delays resulting in missing of realtime deadlines.
