To provide a semiconductor device, a control method for the semiconductor device, and a control program that can update the initial setting values of the interface circuit after a mask ROM is implemented. The semiconductor device includes an interface circuit, the mask ROM storing initial setting values and an initialization function, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that sets the initial setting values in the interface circuit by executing the initialization function during initialization, and non-volatile memory. The initialization function stored in the mask ROM includes a patch function that updates the initial setting values set in the interface circuit during initialization using address information of the storage area to be accessed, data-related information, and processing-related information, which are written in the non-volatile memory.
A semiconductor device comprising:
A control method for a semiconductor device comprising an interface circuit, initial settings, an initialization function stored in a mask ROM (Read Only Memory), a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and non-volatile memory,
A control program that enables a computer to execute control processing of a semiconductor device comprising an interface circuit, initial setting values, an initialization function stored in a mask ROM (Read Only Memory), and non-volatile memory,
