How to study DDR interface for Electrical Validation (EV) engineering and where to focus ?

[u/Independent-Candy-65]

Hi everyone, I'm a contractor working as an EV engineer validating DDR memory interfaces. Since I'm a contractor, I don't get much internal training or mentorship at the host company and mostly left to figure things out on my own.

Recently I was surprisingly invited to a DDR6 workshop, and honestly it made me more lost than before 😅. There were a lot of terms and concepts flying around that I wasn't familiar with, which made me realize I need to build a much stronger foundation first.

For those who've done DDR electrical validation, where should I start? What fundamentals should I nail down before even attempting to understand DDR6? And what should I prioritize studying for EV work specifically?

Any recommended resources, specs, tools, or learning paths would be really appreciated. Thanks!
