Described herein is a method and an apparatus for training a memory signal via an error signal of a memory. The method comprises transmitting from a memory controller a command-address (C/A) signal to a memory module; determining by the memory controller an error in the memory module via an error signal from an error pin of the memory module, the error associated with the C/A signal transmitted to the memory module; and modifying by the memory controller the C/A signal in response to determining an error in the memory module, wherein the error pin is a parity error pin of the memory module, and wherein the memory module comprises a Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) interface.
