Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program. Please note that this is the forked memtest86+ program and not the original memtest86 which has different licensing. Buildroot does not support packages with a '+' sign in their name. Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the same as what was written to memory. Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets. It boots as an i486 program and autodetects hardware. [Peter: tweak help text as suggested by Thomas] Signed-off-by Stephen M.

Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot does not support packages with a '+' sign in their
|
|
name, which explains why it is named memtest86 and not
|
|
memtest86+.

|
Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory
|
|
is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount
|
|
of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them
|
|
back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the
|
|
same as what was written to memory.
|
|
|
|
Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets.
|
|
It boots as an i486 program and autodetects hardware. It can
|
|
be added to the grub2 boot menu by adding the following lines
|
|
to the bottom of /boot/grub/grub.cfg - note the use of linux16.
|
|
|
|
menuentry "Memtest86+" {
|
|
linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Other boot loaders will have similar requirements.
