The rsctest will present different subtests and options based on which revision of the RSC hardware it is testing.
The subtests common to both RSC 1.0 and 2.0 include:
Table 45-1 Subtests for both RSC 1.0 and 2.0
Subtest |
Description |
---|---|
Ethernet |
Allows for internal loopback testing, on the Ethernet device with user specified data, size, and number of packets.Allows for external loopback testing with user-specified data, size, and number of packets. This requires a connection to a 10MB hub or switch for RSC 1.0, or a passive loopback connector for RSC 2.0.Allows for a ping to be sent to a specified host and checks the response. |
Flash CRC |
Performs a checksum test on the flash device. |
SEEPROM CRC |
Performs a checksum test on the SEEPROM device. |
Serial |
Allows internal loopback testing with user-specified data and size on the two internal serial ports.
Allows for internal and/or external testing on the external ttyu port. The external test requires a passive loopback connector. |
rsctest also presents the following subtests when running on the RSC 2.0 hardware:
Table 45-2 Subtests for RSC 2.0 Only
Subtest |
Description |
---|---|
FRU SEEPROM CRC |
Performs a checksum test on the SEEPROM device. |
I2C |
Tests the i2c bus connection between the host and the RSC. |
TOD |
Performs multiple reads to the TOD device and verifies that the time is incrementing. |
Modem |
Verifies that the modem is installed. Displays the manufacture information, in Verbose mode. Performs AT inquiry commands. |
The subtests call test modlets that are written in the native Real Time Operating System (RTOS) that resides in the RSC firmware. The rsctest subtests execute the test modlets, passes parameters, and retrieves results from the RSC using a test protocol on the host to RSC internal serial lines.
