Information processing apparatus for providing notification of a read-out error in a non-volatile storage device

An information processing apparatus including a non-volatile semiconductor storage device storing a startup related program including an application included in firmware, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a notification interface (IF) configured to provide notification of information;
• and
• a controller having one or more processors which executes instructions stored in one or more memories, the controller being configured to:
• determine whether the application is falsified,
• obtain life information of the semiconductor storage device in a case where the controller determines that the application is falsified,
• and determine whether the life information satisfies a condition,
• wherein the semiconductor storage device stores an application list including management information about the application,
• wherein the controller determines whether the application list is falsified, obtain the life information in a case where the controller determines that the application list is falsified, and determines whether the life information satisfies the condition, and
• wherein the notification IF provides the notification of at least the information about the remaining life of the semiconductor storage device in a case where the controller determines that the life information satisfies the condition.
