mt

Format

The format for the mt command is:

PMON

	mt [-c][sadr [siz]]

IMON95

	mt sadr eadr

where:

sadr	specifies the start address for the test.
siz	specifies the amount of memory to be tested (in bytes).
eadr	specifies the end address for the test.
-c	perform a continuous test

Functional Description

The mt command tests memory by performing a series of read/write operations. It first performs a walking one's test by walking a single bit across each word in the memory to be tested. It then writes the address of each word to itself, it then checks back to make sure that each word still contains its address.

With PMON the range of addresses to be tested defaults to a sadr of CLIENTPC, and has a size equal to the remaining memory. You may also specify a start address, and optionally a size.

With IMON95 you must always specify both a start and end address.

Note that any addresses specified on the command line must be non-cachable.

Some examples illustrating the use of the mt command follow.

PMON> mt	Test all available memory.
PMON> mt a0040000	Test from a0040000 to end of memory.
PMON> mt a0040000 1000	Test 4K bytes of memory starting at a0040000.
IMON95> mt a0040000 a0070000	Test memory from a0040000 to a0070000.
