-se
Specifies a soft error threshold.
Examples
>>> memtest -sa 200000 -l 1000
1.
Tests memory starting at 0x200000 (-sa) for 0x1000 bytes (-l).
2. >>> memtest -sa 200000 -l 1000 -f
Tests memory from 0x200000 for 0x1000 bytes, but data is not verified (-f).
>>> memtest -sa 300000 -p 10
3.
Writes a default block size of 8192 bytes from 0x300000 for 10 passes (-p).
>>> memtest -f -mb
4.
Tests memory in arbitrary 8192 byte blocks without verification. After each
read and write to memory a memory barrier (MB) instruction is executed
(-mb).
>>> memtest -sa 200000 -ea 400000 -rb
5.
Tests memory from 0x200000 to 0x3fffff. Every block within this range is
randomly allocated (-rb).
The memtest command does not generate an error with the -rb option if
a block within the range cannot be allocated.
>>> memtest -h -rb -bs 100
6.
Tests the console heap (-h) by randomly allocating memory in 0x100-byte
blocks (-bs).
>>> memtest -rb -p 0
7.
Tests memory across all of memory zone (all memory excluding the HWRPB,
the PAL area, the console, and the console heap). It is run in the foreground
until you enter Ctrl/C.
