sptest Command Line
Syntax
Argument
|
Explanation
|
dev=device_name
|
Identifies the serial port(s) to test. There is no default value; you must specify a device name such as:
se0,
zs0,
zs1
zs2, zs3
..., ...
|
porta=port_name
|
The name of the first device of a serial device pair. The default is a.
|
M=mode
|
The default test mode is asynchronous. Specify one of the following modes:
|
T=test_type
|
Specifies the type of test to run:
o a= runs the test on port a.
o b= runs the test on port b.
o a_b= runs the test on ports a and b sequentially.
o a_b_concurrent= runs the test on port a and port b concurrently.
o a_to_b= runs the test from port a to port b.
|
L=test_loopback
|
The type of loopback connector attached to ports:
-
No_modem_a_to_b
-
Internal_a_to_a__b_to_b
-
Plug_a_to_a__b_to_b
-
Modem_a_to_b
|
D=data_pattern
|
Selects the data pattern to transfer. The user can select:
-
Random
-
Sequential
-
Alphanumeric
-
0x00-0xFF
|
AB=baud_rate
|
Asynchronous baud rate (default = 9600). The valid values are between 110 - 460800.
Note: Some platforms can only support asynchronous baud rates up to 38400 or 76800. For baud rates greater then 153600 the serial line drivers must be set for RS-423 mode and not RS-232 mode.
|
BS=write_size
|
Asynchronous mode write size; from 1 to 10000 bytes.
|
S=size
|
Asynchronous mode total number of bytes to write.
1 to 10000 bytes.
|
PAR=parity
|
Asynchronous mode parity type:
|
F=flow_control and default
|
Asynchronous mode flow control
-
Hardware (RTS/CTS)
-
Software (xon/xoff)
-
None
|
B=baud_rate
|
Synchronous baud rate (default = 9600). The valid rates are between 110 - 256000.
Note: Some platforms can only support synchronous rates up to 38400 or 76800. For rates greater then 100000 the serial line drivers must be set for RS-423 mode and not RS-232 mode.
|
DP=drop_tolerance
|
Synchronous mode drop packet tolerance (default=20 percent)
|
P=poll_seconds
|
Synchronous mode additional wait time during poll (in seconds).

Note - 64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to "32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests".
