Abstract

A network interface controller arrangement and a method of testing a memory arrangement uses a register to hold failing information from a memory built-in self test (MBIST). The register is accessible to a processor through a bus interface of the network interface controller. The processor performs a read operation through the bus interface upon the completion of an MBIST to examine the failing information.
