Abstract
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory, and a controller. The controller controls the nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile memory includes a first area where specific software is capable of being stored, and a second area where the specific software is stored. The second area has higher reliability than the first area. The controller causes the specific software to be stored in the first area when receiving a command specifying the specific software, and executes loading of the specific software stored in the first area at startup of the controller.

A memory system comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory;
- and
- a controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory, wherein
- the nonvolatile memory comprises
- a first area where specific software is capable of being stored, and
- a second area where the specific software is stored, the second area having higher reliability than the first area, and
- the controller
- causes the specific software to be stored in the first area when receiving a command specifying the specific software, and
- executes loading of the specific software stored in the first area at startup of the controller.
A method of controlling a memory system comprising a nonvolatile memory including a first area and a second area having higher reliability than the first area, the method comprising:
- when a command specifying specific software is received, causing the specific software stored in the second area to be stored in the first area, and
- executing loading of the specific software stored in the first area at startup of the memory system.
