SunPCi II Test (sunpci2test)

The sunpci2test tests the SunPCitrademark II card, which is a PC processor embedded in an add-on card. This test consists of approximately 150 POST routines that perform diagnostic, hardware detection, and initialization functions. This test issues a reset, then launches POST in the SunPCi II BIOS to check the devices. Finally, the sunpci2test runs bridge and system diagnostics tests.

SunPCi-2 and SunPCi-3 cards are tested by the sunpci2test diagnostic. If the card under test is SunPCi-2 then the device name will be sunpci2drvX. If it is SunPCi-3 then the device name will be sunpci3drvX.
