摘要

A system and a method for switching functions of A Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive includes setting a bilateral switch under a first triggered status represents that the USB flash drive is in a boot mode, and under a second triggered status represents that the USB flash drive is in a memory mode. The switching method further includes a determination of whether the USB flash drive is in the boot mode, according to the triggered status of the bilateral switch. The switching method further includes controlling the host controller to access data in a flash memory in the USB flash drive, if the USB flash drive is in the boot mode; or controlling the host controller to access data in a main flash memory section in the flash memory if the USB flash drive is in the boot mode.
