Abstract:
According to at least some example embodiments of the inventive concepts, an electronic device includes an embedded storage device that is, configured to connect to a removable storage device, and configured to directly communicate with the removable storage device, when connected to the removable storage device; and an application processor connected to directly communicate with the embedded storage device and not directly connected with the removable storage device, wherein, the embedded storage device is configured to, in response to a disable command received from the application processor, decrease an amount of power supplied to all or some of circuits included in the embedded storage device, and provide a bypass path that is configured to transfer a normal command and data from the application processor to the removable storage device, when the removable storage device is connected to the bypass path.
