Using The Memory Tests From A Command Line Interface - Agilent Technologies E5900B User Manual

Testing Target System Memory
Two ways to run the memory tests

Using the memory tests from a command line interface

You can use the memory tests from a command line interface via a telnet
session (see page 40) or via the emulator command window of your debugger.
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.
For general memory test syntax information, enter the following command at
the emulation probe command line interface:
help mtest
This will display the following help dialog:
mtest - memory test
mtest bp [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r1] <start>[..<end>]=<pattern> - basic pattern
mtest ap [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r1] <start>[..<end>] - address pattern
mtest rp [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r1] <start>[..<end>]=<pattern> - rotate pattern
mtest w1 [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r1] <start>[..<end>] - walking ones
mtest w0 [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r1] <start>[..<end>] - walking zeros
mtest or [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r0] <start>[..<end>] - oscilloscope read
mtest ow [-a1/2/4/8] [-v1-4] [-r0] <start>[..<end>]=<pattern> - osc. write
mtest sm - summary command
Syntax Parameters:
-a memory access size (1,2,4,8 bytes)
-v verbosity level (level of detail of output)
-v1 prints end summary only
-v2 prints status at the end of each repetition
-v3 prints status at the end of each rep. and up to 10 errors
-v4 prints status at the end of each rep. and all errors.
-r number of repetitions to be executed
<start> memory test start address
<end> memory test end address
<pattern> pattern to be written to memory
The following applies to the oscilloscope tests:
Default repetitions is -r0 (repeat forever).
Default verbosity is -v1.
Default access size is provided by mo.
The following applies to all other tests:
Maximum value for repetitions is 10,000.
Default verbosity is -v3.
Default access size is provided by mo.
For more details type '? mtest <test>'
