Abstract
A method of booting a computer system using a non-volatile memory of a memory module of the computer system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a memory controller driver of a memory module of the computer system is stored in a non-volatile memory of the memory module. A memory controller of the memory module has a register that is set to indicate a location of the memory controller driver in the non-volatile memory of the memory module. The memory controller determines the location of the memory controller driver of the memory module using the register. The memory controller driver is transferred from the non-volatile memory to a buffer of the memory controller and subsequently from the buffer of the memory controller to a main memory of the computer system. The computer system initializes the memory module using the memory controller driver.
