Abstract
A memory controller has a first interface, for connection to an external memory device; a second interface, for connection to at least one other component; and a third JTAG interface, for connection to an external user device. The memory controller further includes a processor, which performs calibration processes, in order to synchronize operations of the memory controller and the external memory device, and also runs test software for testing operation of the first interface and the external memory device, and for providing test results to the external user device over the third interface. The memory controller further includes an internal memory, for storing the instructions defining the test software.
