A system and method for testing an automotive electronic microcontroller includes a multi-chip module comprised of a microcontroller chip and at least one memory chip. This multi-chip module is packaged in the same connection configuration a production single chip microcontroller urgently designed for the controller. The multi-chip module, thus, replaces the single chip module on the controller board itself and provides extra memory. A PC work station may be connected to the controller board via a reserved 8-pin interface. Once development and/or testing is complete, the multi-chip module is then replaced with the single chip module.
