0xAA55AA55.

 

 

 

 

Default: Enabled

 

 

B6. External SRAM Test

Function: It tests DMA SRAM by performing the tests described in test B1. The Scratch Pad Test.

Default: Disabled

C1. EEPROM Test

Function: An increment test data is used in EEPROM test. It fills the test data into the test range and read back to verity the content. After the test, it fills data with zero to clear the memory.

Default: Enabled

C2. CPU Test

Function: This test opens the file cpu.bin. If file exists and content is good, it loads code to rx and tx CPU and verifies CPU execution.

Default: Enabled
