I've lost track of the changing meaning over the years because I got out of the field about 15 years ago.
I certainly am fascinated with the SPI-NOR/FIT notion. I'd like to learn enough about it to implement it. I worked a an electronics technician, soldering and all, for plenty of years that I have no problem with putting the hardware together. I have plenty of script coding experience as well, so I am up for all of it. It is just the terminology being used for everything, trying to conceptualize where all the software pieces reside, that slows me down.
