Abstract

A method used by a flash memory initialization device for writing boot up information into a memory device including a controller and a flash memory includes: generating the boot up information; generating N block indices by calling a random function based on a first seed; generating M page indices for each of the N block indices; combining the M page indices with each of the N block indices to generate M×N candidate row addresses; and writing the boot up information from the flash memory initialization device into the flash memory by controlling the controller to write the boot up information into M pages belonging to at least one block sequentially based on the M×N candidate row addresses.
