Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The *mtest* command tests the random access memory. It writes long values, reads
|
||
|
|
them back and checks for differences. The test can be interrupted with CTRL+C.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default test uses *pattern* as first value to be written and varies it
|
||
|
|
between memory addresses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An alternative test can be selected with CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST=y. It uses
|
||
|
|
multiple hard coded bit patterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With CONFIGSYS_ALT_MEMTEST_BITFLIP=y a further test is executed. It writes long
|
||
|
|
values offset by half the size of long and checks if writing to the one address
|
||
|
|
causes bit flips at the other address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
start
|
||
|
|
start address of the memory range tested, defaults to
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end address of the memory range tested, defaults to
|
||
|
|
CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END. If CONFIGSYS_ALT_MEMTEST_BITFLIP=y, a value will
|
||
|
|
be written to this address. Otherwise it is excluded from the range.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pattern
|
||
|
|
pattern to be written to memory. This is a 64bit value on 64bit systems
|
||
|
|
and a 32bit value on 32bit systems. It defaults to 0. The value is
|
||
|
|
ignored if CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST=y.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iterations
|
||
|
|
number of test repetitions. If the value is not provided the test will
|
||
|
|
not terminate automatically. Enter CTRL+C instead.
