BootMemTester is an AmigaOne BootCD adaption of MemTester. Using UBoot reference code so it runs as a bootblock off a CD. In case memory problems show up it can be auto booted directly from UBoot and run tests. Press Cursor Down to skip a test and Escape to skip all remmaining tesrs and return to the UBoot prompt. Due to UBoot limitations it appears that only 16MB of memory can be allocated from. To test the full RAM range it would need to take full control of the MMU so a wider range of RAM could be tested. This may be possible in a later release. For full RAM testing running MemTester in an OS4 boot shell or from Linux is still the best way and also allows modification of caches. But for a quick test if a system is playing up a BootMemTester CD could be handy to have around. Two files are included, BootMemTester.iso and BootMemTester.slb. Use the ISO image to burn onto a CD/RW. The SLB image is included for those who wish to boot off USB which is possible. Simply grab a USB drive already formatted in Amiga format and install the SLB file as the SLB uisng Media Toolbox. Note that if you install it to a USB drive this way it will overwrite the boot block and it won't be usable in a PC. Thus why it should already be in Amiga format. I haven't tested this on a Sam so feedback would be welcome. :-) |
