Abstract

A microcomputer retains a group definition table associating the sector sections created by dividing all sectors into multiple sections under a given condition with different memory regions on a flash memory, respectively. A memory control section makes reference to the group definition table to identify a memory region corresponding to a specified sector, and searches the identified memory region range for a physical address corresponding to the specified sector. Furthermore, the memory control section moves a specified sector within the identified memory region range for rewriting data corresponding to the specified sector.
