paging using ROM demand paging is used when the files to be paged are in the

core ROM image and not using another file system such as ROFS. </p> </section>

ROM demand paging) provides the following features compared to <xref href="GUID-CE9EA167-0594-5E61-9640-6B2B63A92EA7.dita">code

<section id="GUID-5391A3D1-A6CE-4C1A-8D42-B74A7E77E709"><title>ROM Demand Paging limitations</title><p>The following are

known limitations for Demand Paging (using ROM demand  paging) compared to

the other types of code paging: </p><ul>

<li><p>If the executable has static dependencies, then it is best to place

 these dependencies in ROFS. This is a limitation of ROFS and not ROM demand

paging.</p></li>

<li><p>This paging system can only be used with files that are stored using

 the ROM filing system. This is because ROM images using the ROM filing system

 are designed to be executed in place. </p></li>
