You may get an error like "!ERROR 172! Bad status code (0xff) from
the hard reset sequence" just before the prompt. This is because the
self-test loopback connector is installed instead of being connected to a
real PowerPC target system. You may also get a "?>" prompt for the
same reason, and this is normal and expected. Any errors after the
"PASSED Number of tests: 1 Number of failures: 0" line can be ignored.

If a performance verification test fails

There are some things you can do if a failure is found on one of these
tests. Details of the failure can be obtained through using a -v option
("verbose" level) of 2 or more.
TEST 5: Target Probe Feedback Test
A verbose output on this test can be extensive. For example, the
following is the output of this test if you forget to plug in the loopback
test board.
