Abstract

The invention introduces a method for configuring a reliable command, performed by a flash controller, including: issuing an enabling signal to an output device, where the flash controller and the output device are disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB) and intercoupled through wires in the PCB; reading an opcode of the reliable command corresponding to a flash module from the output device, where the flash module is disposed on the PCB and coupled to the flash controller through circuits in the PCB, and the reliable command is used to direct the flash module for access to data in a single level cell (SLC) mode; and stopping issuing the enabling signal to the output device after obtaining the opcode of the reliable command.
