Abstract
An electronic control unit (ECU) has a memory area in a non-volatile memory that stores a control program in a rewritable manner for controlling a predetermined control object. The ECU also has an operation unit for performing a process according to the control program stored in the memory and for performing a rewrite process to rewrite contents of the control program stored in the memory area when a predetermined rewrite condition is met. The memory area has a plurality of sub-memory areas that are exclusively defined in a non-overlapping manner. From among the plurality of sub-memory areas a read sub-memory area, from which the control program is read by the operation unit to perform the process according to the control program, is different and separate from a rewrite sub-memory area, which stores program contents of the control program that is rewritten by the rewrite process.
