Links test riodiags -link This test checks that the RIO host
card can send and receive data on all
its Transputer links via an external
cable. To perform the test:
1. On each host card under test,
loopback the ports on the host
card by linking ports 1 and 2
using a RIO link cable and do
the same for ports 3 and 4.
2. If have only one cable, run the
test on ports 1and 2, then swap
the cable over to ports 3 and 4
and repeat the test.
CPU test riodiags -cpu This test checks that the RIO host
card CPU is capable of running code
from its external ram and that a reset
to the card shall cause the CPU to be
reset. It checks also that the
Configuration Prom can also be
accessed from the Transputer bus.
Interrupt test riodiags -intr <level>
When <level> defines the interrupt level you
want to test.
If the Interrupt test fails with the message
‘Multiple or spurious interrupts’, you are likely
to have an interrupt clash. Re-run the test
specifying a different level.
You can only run the Interrupt test by
specifying it. It does not run during the
automatic complete run of tests.
Allows you to specify particular
Interrupt levels when running a test,
rather than use all levels which can
cause problems on some systems.
Config prom
test riodiags -prom In this test the host machine reads
and verifies the host card
configuration prom.
