Abstract
In a memory system including a host device and one or more nonvolatile memory devices, the host device reads, from a nonvolatile memory device connected in the system, a boot code used to operate a CPU of the host device before the CPU is activated. The boot code reading process is required to be performed with a simple method. A host device () transmits a first symbol including a synchronous code to a nonvolatile memory device (). The nonvolatile memory device () receives the first symbol from the host device (), and transmits a first symbol that is identical to the received first symbol to the host device (), and then transmits a boot code to the host device (). In this manner, the host device () reads a boot code from the nonvolatile memory devicewith a simple method.
