I'm with Jon on this, the semantics matter little; but it would be
good to answer the simple question "Can it execute code from RAM?"
- in some systems, that is useful.


In the case of my original article:
http://www.microcontroller.com/news/arm_cortex_stm.asp
the answer is YES - the ST part can execute code from RAM off the data (system) bus. Of
course, there will be extra cycles.

In some parts, RAM CODE execution is promoted for speed (due to slower FLASH speeds).
Is that not the case in the ST device Core/RAM/FLASH combination ?
