Abstract:
An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: at least one flash memory including a data storage region that stores data and an erase count storage region that stores erase count data indicating the number of times that the data is erased in the data storage region; and a control circuit that is connected between a processor and the at least one flash memory. The control circuit allows changes of data stored in the data storage region by the processor and suppresses changes of the erase count data stored in the erase count storage region by the processor.
