Abstract
In a first process, based on data of a FLASH statusarea included in a first block of a flash ROM, a rewriting process including erasing, writing and verifying on blocks of the flash ROM storing a user program to be rewritten based on contents of a user program for rewriting is controlled. In a second process, the rewriting process is carried out without regard to the data of the FLASH statusarea. In the first process, writing on the FLASH statusarea is not carried out in the rewriting process on the first block of the flash ROM, but writing on the FLASH statusarea is carried out based on the contents of the user program for rewriting after carrying out the rewriting process on a last block of the flash ROM.
