1. A memory device, comprising:
a non-volatile memory storing firmware;
a control logic coupled to the non-volatile memory; and
an array of memory cells coupled to the control logic, the array of memory cells is embedded with firmware repairing instructions that are executable by the control logic;
wherein the control logic is configured to:
perform an early stage of a power-on reset (POR) initialization operation to control an initialization of the memory device based on the firmware;
repair the firmware based on execution of the firmware repairing instructions embedded on the array of memory cells during the POR initialization operation; and
perform a remaining stage of the POR initialization operation to further control the initialization of the memory device based on the repaired firmware.
