Clusters available for testing Ranges:

[42645--61944]

Number of free clusters = 19300

Number of ranges = 1 Number of used clusters = 42645

To test a card, insert the card and enter:

enable cflash test start=startnumber end=endnumber

where startnumber and endnumber are positive integers within a cluster range. The endnumber must be higher than the startnumber. Cluster ranges are displayed in the output of the show cflash test command (Figure 15).

The test software will read the file allocation table and display a list of free sectors. Sectors can be tested as single sectors or as a range. The test will consist of a write/read/verify cycle.

To stop the test, use the command:

disable cflash test

To display the testing process while a test is in process, enter:

show cflash test

If used when testing is not active, the previous command displays blank cluster ranges on a compact flash card (Figure 15 on page 42).

Error messages are displayed when a file write fails. Failure could be due to the card being removed or an error in the card.
