ABSTRACT:
A peripheral device control system includes a single flash memory having a changeable portion for storing firmware for controlling the peripheral device and a preprogrammed portion containing control code. When it is desired to modify the changeable firmware, the control code is read from the flash memory to a storage area in the using system and is used to control the loading of the modified firmware in the flash memory.
