What is NOR?

NOR is a type of flash memory. It is commonly used for storing firmware and boot code in embedded systems due to its fast random access read speeds, making it suitable for executing code directly from memory. Unlike NAND flash, NOR flash allows for byte-level access, but it has lower storage density and higher cost per bit.
