Abstract

See full text

A method and arrangement for performing a memory built-in self test (MBIST) of an external memory and an internal memory of a network interface controller includes a series of burst write and burst read operations if an external memory is detected. The sequence of burst operations tests the back-to-back burst write, back-to-back burst write burst read, back-to-back burst read and back-to-back burst read burst write capabilities of the external memory, to thereby fully exercise the external memory. Additionally, the internal memory is tested by single write and single read accesses.
