Abstract:
1. A method for programming a memory device, the method comprising: configuring configurable logic of a component to form a configured non-JTAG interface to enable programming of the memory device, configuration being performed by providing configuration data through a JTAG interface to the component; wherein the configuring includes inputting the configuration data from a host device other than the memory device, and the configured non-JTAG interface on the component is coupled to the memory device via a non-JTAG interface; programming the memory device using the configured non-JTAG interface configured into the component by providing data through the JTAG interface and the configured non-JTAG interface to the non-JTAG interface of the memory device; and wherein the programming includes inputting the data from the host device to the configured non-JTAG interface via the JTAG interface and outputting the data from the configured non-JTAG interface to the memory device via the non-JTAG interface.
