ABSTRACT:
In accordance with a universal nonvolatile memory boot mode, one or more portions of boot code are obtained from a nonvolatile memory component. These one or more portions are obtained without knowing a row size used by the nonvolatile memory component, a column address strobe (CAS) latency used by the nonvolatile memory component, or a default burst length used by the nonvolatile memory component. The one or more portions of boot code are executed to configure the system to access a volatile memory component, and/or to reconfigure the system to access the nonvolatile memory in a different mode of operation.
