Abstract
A method for resetting a memory in the computer system includes turning on the computer system, and a memory controller of the computer system executing a boot code to initialize the memory. After the memory controller executes the boot code, the memory controller updates a programmable initialization code according to the boot code to generate an updated programmable initialization code. After resetting the computer system, the memory controller executes the updated programmable initialization code to restore the memory back to a default state. After the memory is restored to the default state, the memory controller executes the boot code to initialize the memory again. After the memory is initialized, the memory controller controls the memory to perform a normal operation.
