The following table describes what each self-test does.

Note –

Use of the OpenBoot PROM configuration variable

test-args

can affect

the behavior of OpenBoot Diagnostics. The

Test

Function

bbc

least one processor has boot bus access.

ebus

Accesses the Ebus through the RIO port and then tests DMA
controller functionality.

flashprom

containing the main logic board boot code.

gpio

Tests the registers of the general purpose input/output subsystem.

i2c@1,2e

Tests SEEPROM devices.

i2c@1,30

Tests SEEPROM devices and I

2

C port expanders. Also performs

2

C temperature controller devices.

network

parallel

Tests the parallel port using both supported parallel port modes:
ECPP and extended parallel mode.

pmc

are firing correctly.

SUNW,qlc

Tests the registers of the Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL)
subsystem.

scsi
