Hardware abstraction in software or firmware for hardware calibration

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
• read system configuration information;
• disable one or more steps in a list of calibration steps to be performed based on the system configuration information to leave a list of remaining calibration steps;
• based on a determination that two or more remaining calibration steps are co-dependent, configure a single calibration step that encapsulates the two or more remaining calibration steps that are co-dependent;
• place the single calibration step in a list of steps to be called;
• and
• provide the list of steps to be called.

A computer program product for calibrating DRAM, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• read system configuration information;
• disable one or more steps in a list of calibration steps to be performed based on the system configuration information to leave a list of remaining calibration steps;
• based on a determination that two or more remaining calibration steps are co-dependent, configure a single calibration step that encapsulates the two or more remaining calibration steps that are co-dependent;
• place the single calibration step in a list of steps to be called;
• and
• provide the list of steps to be called.
