Abstract
A memory device includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to initialize and prepare the NVM for executing memory-access operations for a processor, and to ascertain that no memory-access operations are received from the processor before the NVM is ready, by preventing the processor from bootstrapping during at least part of initialization and preparation of the NVM.
