Abstract
A mobile communication terminal with a NAND flash memory is described. The terminal includes a memory for storing address information indicative of a start address of a specific area including boot data to be read from the NAND flash memory; and a sub-controller for determining whether a predetermined block including the boot data of the NAND flash memory is a bad block incapable of being booted, requesting transmission of the address information from a main controller when the predetermined block is determined to be the bad block, and reading the boot data from the predetermined block of the NAND flash memory corresponding to the address information transmitted from the main controller. The main controller detects the address information stored in the memory upon receiving the transmission request of the address information from the sub-controller, and transmits the detected address information to the sub-controller.
