ABSTRACT:
A system to initialize a memory device. An operating system executes an application program. A memory device has a plurality of memory addresses that hold data. A firmware device holds settings for the memory device and sends a completion signal to the operating system only after an initialization of the memory device has been completed in response to an initialization request being received from the operating system. A memory controller initializes a range of the memory addresses to a configurable value after receiving the initialization request from the firmware device, and sends the completion signal to the firmware device after the initialization is completed.
