Apparatus and method for creating a binary file for function-based data storage and a computer-readable storage medium for storing the method

摘要

A method and apparatus for creating a binary file for function-based data storage and a computer-readable recording medium storing the method are provided. Target files created based on functions thereof are converted to individual binary files. The individual binary files are combined to create a combined binary file. When the binary files are combined, invalid data of a specific size is inserted between each of the individual binary files. The use of a combined binary file created in this manner decreases the number of times data in a flash ROM is read/deleted/recorded when the corresponding program is updated. The invalid data insertion into the combined binary file to identify the individual binary files allows update of a changed part of the combined binary file, instead of the entirety thereof, when the corresponding program is updated.
