Abstract: An apparatus for loading firmware into IC is provided, including a USB connector, at least a USB controller, a conversion interface, a plurality of connection interfaces, a plurality of non-volatile memories, and a plurality of IC slots. The USB connector provides the connection to any electronic USB device. The USB controller is connected to the USB connector for loading the original firmware data for the IC from the USB device. The conversion interface is connected to the USB controller for data format conversion of original firmware data between USB interface and conversion interface. The connection interfaces are connected to the conversion interface and the non-volatile memories are connected to the respective connection interfaces for storing the converted firmware data. The IC slots are connected to respective non-volatile memories so that the firmware stored in the non-volatile memories can be loaded into the ICs plugged in the IC slots.
