Abstract
A firmware code loading method for loading a firmware code from a rewritable non-volatile memory module of a memory storage apparatus is provided. The method includes: obtaining a storage address for storing a first portion firmware code copy corresponding to a first portion of the firmware code in a first memory part; and obtaining a storage address for storing a second portion firmware code copy corresponding to a second portion of the firmware code in a second memory part. The method further includes: using a parallel mode or a interleave mode to load the first portion firmware code copy and the second portion firmware code copy respectively from the first memory part and the second memory part into a buffer memory. Accordingly, the method can effectively shorten the time of loading the firmware code.
