Abstract:
1. A sound data processing apparatus, comprising: a first memory, that is rewritable; a decoder for performing decoding processing for sound data; an interface unit connected to a second memory storing the sound data and an interface driver for reading out the sound data, the second memory being an external memory; a third memory, that is read only memory, storing a boot program executed for reading the interface driver from the second memory connected to the interface unit and storing the read interface driver into the first memory; and a central processing unit for controlling processing of the first memory, the third memory, the decoder, and the interface unit, wherein the central processing unit performs control so as to read the interface driver from the external memory connected to the interface unit based on the boot program and store the interface driver into the first memory, read the sound data from the second memory connected to the interface unit by means of the interface driver stored in the first memory, and transfer the read sound data to the decoder.
