A silly question that I encountered on my ramp into embedded communications, formally asking here for future review. The CC3200 has 64 kB of ROM but no internal flash, requiring an external SPI-flash unit to run. Why does this MCU not feature integrated flash?
Supplemental context if useful, when I originally got my CC3200-LAUNCHXL Launchpad I assumed internal flash because it just ran. A few years later come product design time I specced out a CC3200 for the team, and was hugely embarrassed later that I had missed the requirement for an embedded flash IC! Asking here to clean this up, for future development efforts
