The primary CPU (usually CPU0) initializes and tests the B-cache and memory, then
loads the flash SROM code to the next CPU. That CPU then initializes the EV6 (21264
chip) and marks itself as the secondary CPU. Once the primary CPU sees the secondary,
it loads the flash SROM code to the next CPU until all remaining CPUs are loaded.
œ
The Flash SROM performs various B-cache tests. For example, the ECC data test verifies
the detection logic for single- and double-bit errors.

The primary CPU initiates all memory tests. The memory is tested for address and data
errors for the first 32 MB of memory. It also initializes all of the "sized" memory in the
system.
If a memory failure occurs, an error is reported. An untested memory array is assigned to
address 0 and the failed memory array is de-assigned. The memory tests are re-run on the
first 32 MB of memory. If all memory fails, the "No Memory Available" message is
reported and the system halts.
ž
If all memory passes, the primary CPU loads the SRM console and transfers control to
it.
