Abstract
A memory control device that is capable of making a nonvolatile memory of an information device exhibit the performance thereof certainly. A detection unit detects whether a data writable semiconductor memory is a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory. A setting unit performs a setting to a volatile memory and performs a different setting to a nonvolatile memory that is detected with the detection unit.
Claims8
A memory control device comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect whether a data writable semiconductor memory is a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory;
- and
- a setting unit configured to perform a setting to a volatile memory and to perform a different setting to a nonvolatile memory that is detected with said detection unit.
A memory control method executed by a computer comprising:
- a detection step of detecting whether a data writable semiconductor memory is a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory;
- and
- a setting step of performing a setting to a volatile memory and of performing a different setting to a nonvolatile memory that is detected in said detection step.
An information device comprising:
- semiconductor memories;
- and
- a memory control device configured to control operations of said semiconductor memories,
- wherein said memory control device comprises:
- a detection unit configured to detect whether each of said semiconductor memory is a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory;
- and
- a setting unit configured to perform a setting to a volatile memory and to perform a different setting to a nonvolatile memory that is detected with said detection unit.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a memory control method for an information device equipped with a semiconductor memory, the memory control method comprising:
- a detection step of detecting whether the semiconductor memory is a nonvolatile memory or a volatile memory;
- and
- a setting step of performing a setting to a volatile memory and of performing a different setting to a nonvolatile memory that is detected in said detection step.
