An electronic apparatus includes the following elements. A circuit forming device forms a circuit configured in accordance with configuration information. A first storage unit stores first configuration information externally obtained via a first communication line. The first configuration information is used for forming a first circuit implementing a function including a first communication function in the circuit forming device. A second storage unit stores second configuration information different from the first configuration information. The second configuration information is used for forming a second circuit implementing a function including the first communication function in the circuit forming device. A recovery controller performs control so that the second circuit is formed in the circuit forming device by using the second configuration information, upon the occurrence of an error in communication via the first communication line when the first circuit is formed in the circuit forming device by using the first configuration information.
