ES/2 TEST SOFTWARE<br />
TEST 22 : coms ram<br />
The kernel will send a message to the comms requesting the comms to check its own RAM. The<br />
comms will then write the pattern aa5516 to every 16-bit location of the comms RAM between 0 and<br />
1f0016. The kernel will display the following screen while the comms processor is testing:<br />
Comms processor checking its own memory<br />
Test 22<br />
If the comms processor does not read the correct pattern from it’s RAM then a message is passed<br />
to the kernel processor and the following message is displayed:<br />
Comms processor RAM failed re-run ><br />
Press to continue ><br />
If the test passes then the comms sends the OK to the kernel which displays the following screen:<br />
TEST 23 : comms CTC<br />
Comms processor checking its own memory<br />
Test 22 Okay.. Press to continue ><br />
For this test the kernel sends a message to the comms requesting it to check it’s CTC and then<br />
displays the following:<br />
Comms processor checking its CTC<br />
Test 23<br />
The comms processor initialises the SIO, to prevent spurious interrupts and checks if the CTC can<br />
be read by searching for a recognised pattern from the CTC. If it fails to read the expected pattern<br />
then a message is sent to the kernel, the test is terminated and the kernel displays :<br />
Comms processor CTC re-run ><br />
faulty/not fitted Press to continue ><br />
If this test passes then all three timers inside the CTC are started and then checked to see if they<br />
are counting. This is done by waiting for a reading the counter values after a period of time and<br />
checking that the value read is different from the one initialised. If this test fails then a message is<br />
passed to the kernel and the test is terminated. The kernel will display the following screen:<br />
Comms processor CTC re-run ><br />
counting error Press to continue ><br />
If the test fails on either of the above 2 points then pressing the re-run key will start the test from the<br />
beginning, pressing the continue key (key 4) will enter the test select screen. If the test passes then<br />
the kernel displays:<br />
Comms processor checking its CTC<br />
Test 23 Okay.. Press to continue ><br />
TEST 24 : comms SIO<br />
