Abstract

A device comprises control circuitry including a processor, a memory interface, memory interface initialization circuitry, and non-volatile storage storing initialization parameters for initializing the memory interface. The control circuitry is configured to, while the processor is held in reset, initialize the memory interface using the initialization parameters and the memory interface initialization circuitry, after the memory interface has been initialized, receive instructions from a non-volatile memory module over the memory interface, and, after the processor has been released from reset, execute the instructions using the processor.
