METHOD
CRC-type check
Checksum on DSP board
Patterns to check for stuck bits, stuck address lines, cross-
talk between adjacent bits
Same as Local RAM
CRC-type check on settings area; checksum on fault
storage area:
duplicate locations on serial NVRAM
Test all processor timers and their interrupts
Test all 960 internal interrupts
Wraparound and interrupt tests for serial interface
DMA Interface
Loop-back test
Comparison of bits read via two separate optocouplers
Test of real-time clock operation and interrupts
METHOD
CRC-type check
Checksum type check
Protection values checked for correctness;
Configurable logic checked for validity
CRC-type check on settings area
Checksum on fault storage area
METHOD
DMA interface
Comparison of bits read via two separate
optocouplers
Loop-back test
Bit read via bus
Operator initiated, visual feedback
