Power-On Diagnostic Tests The Power-On diagnostics performs basic integrity tests of the hardware to determine its functionality and configuration.If a diagnostic test fails during hardware initialization, the unit simply stops.There are no messages sent to video. The following table lists the tests that are performed on the vc4725 units. Power-On Diagnostic Test Test Boot Block Checksum DRAM Parallel port Serial port Timer RTC CMOS battery NAND Flash device Description Tests boot block code for proper checksum value. Simple write/read pattern test of the first 640k of memory. Initiates the port's driver and determines if the device is present. Tests the serial port using simple port verification test to determine if ports are present. Tests timer interrupt by using polling method. Tests integrity of RTC CMOS battery. Tests for proper NAND flash device ID present.

Power-On Diagnostic Tests
The Power-On diagnostics performs basic integrity tests of the hardware to determine its
functionality and configuration.If a diagnostic test fails during hardware initialization,
the unit simply stops.There are no messages sent to video.
The following table lists the tests that are performed on the vc4725 units.
Power-On Diagnostic Test
Test
Description
Boot
Block Checksum
Tests boot block code for proper
checksum value.
DRAM
Simple write/read pattern test of
the first 640k of memory.
Parallel port
Initiates the port’s driver and
determines if the device is present.
Serial port
Tests the serial port using simple
port verification test to determine
if ports are present.
Timer
Tests timer interrupt by using
polling method.
RTC CMOS battery
Tests integrity of RTC CMOS
battery.
NAND Flash device
Tests for proper NAND flash
device ID present.
