Abstract

An electronic device of the present technique includes a controller part for controlling operations of a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory, a power supply controller for controlling power to the controller part and the volatile memory, and a register for retaining running information about a program read from the non-volatile memory. When power is supplied to the controller part from the power supply controller and the running information about the program is not retained in the register, the controller part reads the program from the non-volatile memory and stores it in the volatile memory so as to execute the program, and retains the running information about the program in the register. When the running information about the program is retained in the register, the program is read from the volatile memory so as to be executed.
