ABSTRACT:
An information processing device is provided in which a valid initial program is transferred to a RAM while avoiding a invalid block which is present in a low reliable storage device, such as a NAND-type flash memory or the like. A management information storing section29stores management information30indicating a position of a invalid block in a first storage device31.When an information processing device1is powered on, a transfer determination section20is controlled to read a BSP26from a valid block of a first storage device11based on the management information30,and transfer the BSP26to a second storage device32.Thereby, it is possible to avoid reading of a invalid block present in the first storage device31.
