Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling at least one peripheral device includes a non-volatile storage element and a controller. The non-volatile storage element is used for storing at least one control information set. The controller is externally coupled to the non-volatile storage element and includes a read-only storage element which stores a segment of program code. The controller loads the segment of program code to execute the segment of program code for reading at least one portion of the control information set from the non-volatile storage element to control the operation of the peripheral device.
