FLASH EMULATOR

摘要

A method and apparatus for the loading of a control program of a peripheral (for example, peripheral 325) via a communications link between a computer (for example, computer 305) and the peripheral 305. The control program is stored in a first memory (for example, memory to 315) and upon system power-up or reset, a driver program reads the control program and loads the control program into a second memory (for example, RAM 335) located in the peripheral 325. The need for a custom memory interface and flash memory in the peripheral 325 is eliminated.
