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 />
