Test descriptions The tests are divided into four groups: Register tests, Memory tests, Miscellaneous tests, and Data tests. They are identified as group A, B, C, and D. Group A: Register tests • A1. Indirect register test Using indirect addressing method, this test writes increment data into the MAC Hash Register table and reads back for verification. The memory read/write is done 100 times while incrementing test data. • A2. Control register test Each register specified in the configuration contents are defined as read only bit and read/write bit. The test writes zero and one into the test bits to ensure the read only bits are not changed and read/write bits are changed accordingly. • A3. Interrupt test This test verifies the interrupt functionality. It enables interrupt and then waits for the interrupt to occur. It waits for 500ms and reports an error if it could not generate interrupts. • A4. Built-In-Self test This test initiates Hardware Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) and then waits for the test result returned by hardware. The hardware could not generate interrupts. • A5. PCI Cfg register test This test verifies the access integrity of the PCI config registers. Group B: Memory tests • B1. Scratch pad test This tests the scratch pad SRAM on board.

Test descriptions
The tests are divided into four groups: Register tests, Memory tests, Miscellaneous tests, and Data tests.
They are identified as group A, B, C, and D.
Group A: Register tests
A1. Indirect register test
Using indirect addressing method, this test writes increment data into the MAC Hash Register table
and reads back for verification. The memory read/write is done 100 times while incrementing test
data.
A2. Control register test
Each register specified in the configuration contents are defined as read only bit and read/write bit.
The test writes zero and one into the test bits to ensure the read only bits are not changed and
read/write bits are changed accordingly.
A3. Interrupt test
This test verifies the interrupt functionality. It enables interrupt and then waits for the interrupt to
occur. It waits for 500ms and reports an error if it could not generate interrupts.
A4. Built-In-Self test
This test initiates Hardware Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) and then waits for the test result returned by
hardware. The hardware could not generate interrupts.
A5. PCI Cfg register test
This test verifies the access integrity of the PCI config registers.
Group B: Memory tests
B1. Scratch pad test
This tests the scratch pad SRAM on board. The following tests are performed:
