A computer-implemented method for command-address-control calibration of a memory device includes starting, via a processor, a controller clock for the memory device, releasing, via the processor, a reset on the memory device, running, via the processor, a calibration pattern for calibrating the memory device by placing the memory device in calibration mode, where the calibration pattern is initiated prior to an initialization of the memory device, calibrating, via the processor, the memory device with a calibration setting based on the calibration pattern, and initializing the memory device based on the calibration setting.
