Subtest 01 Conventional Memory
This subtest first writes test data patterns to conventional memory (0 to 640
KB), then reads the new data and compares the result with the original data
patterns.
If a compare error occurs, the write data, read data, and test address display on
the screen. Addresses are displayed in 4KB increments during the test.
Test Process:
1. Byte Enable Test
One bit write/ 8 bit read” is executed and the new data is compared
with the original data.
Test data = CCAA5533H, 80000000H
2. Byte Enable Test
“One bit write/16 bit read” is executed and the new data is compared
with the original data.
Test data = CCAA5533H, 80000000H
3. Data bus test
“One bit write/16 bit read” is executed and the new data is compared
with the original data.
Test data = 1H, 2H, 4H, 8H, 10H, through 80000000H.
4. Fixed data test
“16 bit write/ 16 bit read” is executed and the new data is compared
to the original data.
Test data = FFFFFFFFH, 00000000H, 80018001H
