ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE BYPASS PATH TO NON-DIRECTLY CONNECTED STORAGE DEVICE AMONG SERIALLY CONNECTED STORAGE DEVICES STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDED THEREIN COMPUTING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATING THEREWITH

摘要

The present invention provides an electronic device comprising an embedded storage device and an application processor. The embedded storage device is connected to directly communicate with a detachable storage device. The application processor is connected to directly communicate with the embedded storage device, but is not directly connected to the detachable storage device. The embedded storage device reduces the amount of a power supplied to a part or all of circuits included in the embedded storage device in response to an inactivation command received from the application processor, and provides a bypass path so that a general command and data are exchanged between the application processor and the detachable storage device. According to the present invention, power consumption of the electronic device can be reduced and a data transmission delay can be shortened.
