Write output
root@dell-diag-os:~# memtool --write --addr=200 --val=0x50
Constraints
You cannot perform memory tests while other tests that allocate and use memory within the region are performing. However, you can
perform the Read tests concurrently with other processes. You cannot run multiple memory tests at the same time as they may collide
within the memory spaces.
Memory tests cannot test all the memory, and without cache
flushes,
memory tests may not get out of the caches. The SDI must ensure
the memory accessed is accessing the physical memory. This check slows down the tests.
Data
flow
The
memtool
is not part of the data path and does not participate in the data
flow.
nputool
The
nputool
allows for
configuring
and testing the switch ASICs.
The
nputool
tests the NPU in the system. The
nputool
verifies
that ports are up and
traffic
between the ports is working either using
the CPU-generated packet or using IXIA connected to port-1 and port-2 based on the
configuration.
Tests
Tests are shown in the following sections.
CLI options
The
nputool
shows the available options with the
nputool -h
or
nputool
command.
