Abstract

A method for using non-volatile memory and an electronics device thereof is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a non-volatile memory pre-loaded with a plurality of original data is provided. When updating the original data with new data, if free space is available in the non-volatile memory, then the new data is written into the free space. If free space is not available, all the updated original data is written into the erased non-volatile memory.
