Abstract: A controller used in a computing device executes the following steps. When a security profile stored in a storage device is successfully verified, according to a security profile configuration stored in the controller, an operation mode described in the security profile is used. When the used operation mode is in a non-secure mode, the booting of the computer device is directly completed. When the used operation mode is a secure mode and a main BIOS of the computing device is not valid, at least one BIOS stored in the storage device is used to recover the main BIOS, and the computer device is rebooted. When the used operation mode is a secure mode and the main BIOS is valid, but the storage device does not store the main BIOS, the main BIOS is backed up and to be stored in the storage device.

Abstract: A cascade extension device and a cascade system having the cascade extension device are provided. The cascade extension device includes a control module, a buffer module, a storage module, and a selecting output module. The cascade system includes a processor and a plurality of extension devices. The processor may simultaneously control the plurality of extension devices through judging the data packet received as a write command, a read command, or a bypass command by a plurality of extension devices.
