Abstract
A method performed by automated test equipment (ATE) includes power cycling a solid state drive (SSD) device under test by the ATE, wherein the SSD device includes a memory controller integrated circuit (IC) attached to a printed circuit board (PCB) having a PCB interface; communicating one or more signals between the ATE and the memory controller IC using the PCB interface in a normal system mode; sending a command to cause the memory controller IC to place the PCB interface in a boundary scan mode; remapping a portion of pins of the PCB interface to a boundary scan interface; and communicating one or more boundary scan signals between the ATE and the memory controller IC using the remapped portion of pins of the PCB interface in the boundary scan mode.
