Abstract: A method for performing configuration management, an associated data storage device and the controller thereof are provided. The method may include: reading a read-only memory (ROM) code from a ROM to execute the ROM code; during executing the ROM code, detecting a first set of states of a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) circuit to perform a first portion of system configuration settings of the ROM code according to the first set of states; during executing the ROM code, detecting a second set of states of an electronic fuse (eFuse) circuit to perform a second portion of system configuration settings of the ROM code according to the second set of states; and executing at least one program code to make the data storage device be ready for being accessed by a host device.

Abstract: The invention introduces a method for dynamic partitioning, performed by a processing unit, including at least the following steps. A storage-unit ID (identifier) associated with a storage unit is acquired, where the storage unit is coupled to the processing unit. Parameters corresponding to the storage-unit ID are obtained and the length of a physical super-page is calculated according to the parameters. The length of a data buffer is obtained and the quantity of logical partitions is calculated according to the length of the physical super-page and the length of the data buffer. The quantity of logical partitions is stored in a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).
