Zusammenfassung:A super input/output (I/O) module for controlling a universal serial bus (USB) port of a computer system is provided. The super I/O module includes a USB host, a switch and a processor. The switch selectively couples the USB port of the computer system to the USB host or a controller of the computer system according to a switching signal. When a trigger event occurs, the processor provides the switching signal to control the switch, so as to couple the USB port of the computer system to the USB host and to transmit a basic input/output system (BIOS) code to a flash memory of the computer system via the switch and the USB port.
