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.
