Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a main substrate, a sub substrate that is connected to communicate with the main substrate, and a sub device that is connected to communicate with the sub substrate. The main substrate includes a transfer unit configured to memory-transfer a boot program of the sub substrate and device information necessary in a case where the sub device performs an activation process to a memory of the sub substrate, the sub substrate includes a control unit configured to perform the activation process of the sub substrate based on the boot program and a transmission unit configured to transmit the device information to the sub device, and the sub device includes an execution unit configured to execute the activation process of the sub device using the device information transmitted by the transmission unit.
