1. An electronic system supporting narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), the electronic system comprising:
a NB-IoT circuit;
a communicator;
a shared central processor to control the NB-IoT circuit or the communicator;
a shared memory to store data or code for the shared central processor, the shared memory being connected directly to the communicator and including a shared main memory and a shared nonvolatile memory; and
an external storage device to transmit and receive the data or the code to and from the shared central processor and the shared memory,
wherein the NB-IoT circuit has an idle period in which the NB-IoT circuit does not transmit or receive the data or the code, the communicator transmits or receives the data or the code in the idle period, and the NB-IoT circuit and the communicator use the shared central processor at different times from each other, without using the shared central processor at the same time.
