Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a first processor configured to restrict direct memory access by one or more peripheral circuits to a volatile memory, and thereafter make a transition from an active state to a sleep state, and a second processor configured to, after the first processor has been brought into the sleep state, set the volatile memory into a self-refresh mode in which a refresh circuit of the volatile memory periodically rewrites data stored in the volatile memory, and thereafter reboot the electronic apparatus.
