See page 25 for instructions on making a connection to the emulation probe which will allow you to access the emulation probe via a command line interface.
Page 89: Memory Tests
Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Memory Test Patterns You can use the memory test feature of the emulation probe to perform seven different types of tests. Use these tests to find problems in address lines, data lines, and data storage. Use these tests in combination because no single test can perform a complete evaluation of the target system memory.
Page 90: Recommended Test Procedure
Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Recommended Test Procedure Two types of tests are offered for testing target memory: oscilloscope tests, and memory functionality tests. Oscilloscope Tests 1. Connect the oscilloscope to view activity on the bits of interest. 2.
Page 91: Basic Pattern Test
Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Basic Pattern test The Basic Pattern test finds data bits in the specified memory range that are stuck high or low. It also detects data lines that may be tied to power, ground, or not connected at all.
Page 92: Interpreting Basic Pattern Test Results
Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Interpreting Basic Pattern test results Consistent errors such as a particular bit incorrect every four bytes typically indicate a problem with the data lines. Random or sparse errors may indicate hardware data memory errors—check individual locations with the Walking Ones and Walking Zeros tests.
Page 93 Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Assume the data line bit associated with the error is stuck high. This could happen if the suspected data line bit were soldered to power. For an additional test of suspected memory, perform the Walking Ones (see page 98) and Walking Zeros (see page 99) tests on the problem memory range.
Page 94: Address Pattern Test
Testing Target System Memory Memory Test Patterns Address Pattern test This test verifies that the address lines of the selected memory range are without error. How the Address Pattern test works This test writes the address of each memory location as data to each location. The data is then read back to see if it matches the address.
