ABSTRACT:
An information processing unit is provided, which includes a first memory, a second memory, and a controller. The first memory stores a BIOS program beforehand that is executed at a startup of the unit so as to allow peripheral devices to operate normally. The first memory also stores initial BIOS data beforehand. The second memory stores BIOS data with which the BIOS program is executed. The controller is configured to: (a) if the initial BIOS data is updated, read the updated BIOS data including updated data from the first memory and writes the updated BIOS data into the second memory; and (b) execute the BIOS program using the updated BIOS data written in the second memory.
