= EIR Hardware Tester =

A first preview version 0.1.1 of the EIR Hardware Tester is available in [[../../../arc/eirhwt-0.1.1.zip|this archive]]. It contains all source code as well as a pre-compiled binary and will test the following hardware:

* MultiMedia Card Interface<br />
Insert any MMC or SD-Card before running the test.
* Ethernet Controller<br />
The EIR must be connected to an Ethernet network.
* Audio Codec<br />
Very simple test, which will just read two registers.
* Serial Flash<br />
Extensive test, which will destroy the contents. As a result, your radio configuration will get lost.
* SDRAM<br />
Extensive test, which automatically detects the size of the SDRAM chip.

== Running the Tester ==

If running a Windows PC, use [[samba.html|SAM-BA]] to upload the binary to the EIR. Alternatively you can use the [[jtag.html|JTAG interface]].

Attach the RS-232 connector on the EIR with any COM port of your PC, using a [[../../documents/rs232primer.html|null modem cable]]. Start a terminal emulator like<br />
[http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html TeraTerm for Windows],<br />
[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/ Minicom for Linux] or<br />
[http://homepage.mac.com/dalverson/zterm/ ZTerm for Mac OS X].

Configure the serial port to 115,200 Baud, 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit. Disable all handshakes. When pressing the reset button, the following output should appear in the terminal emulator window.
