Abstract: Storage device FirmWare (FW) and manufacturing software techniques include access to FW images and communication of a manufacturing software tool. The manufacturing software tool enables download of the FW images into an I/O device and controlling a manufacturing test of the I/O device that is a storage device providing a storage capability. Execution of the downloaded FW images enables an I/O controller of the I/O device to provide the storage capability via operation with one or more selected types of flash memory devices. The selected types are selected from a plurality of flash memory types that the I/O controller is capable of operating with by executing appropriate ones of the FW images. Optionally the manufacturing test includes testing the storage capability of the I/O device. The techniques further include an SSD manufacturing self-test capability.
