摘要

According to the embodiments, a nonvolatile memory device is configured to store a normal operating system, and store a bootloader. A host device is capable of initiating the normal operating system by using the bootloader. The host device is configured to determine whether a first condition is established based on information obtained from the nonvolatile memory device; and rewrite, when determined the first condition is established, the bootloader so that an emergency software is initiated when booting the host device. The emergency software is executed on the host device. The host device is capable of issuing only a read command to the nonvolatile memory device under a control of the emergency software.
