TS-4100 POST

The TS-4100 U-Boot includes a simple POST test. This is normally used in production to verify basic functionality rapidly before continuing to more thorough testing. By default, this is not enabled on every boot, but it can be added via U-Boot scripting if there is a need for additional confidence in the application. The POST test quickly verifies basic functionality of: USB, RTC (if present), Ethernet PHY, WiFi/BT module (if present), eMMC (see warning below), RAM, and the supervisory microcontroller.

The post test can be run with the following command in U-Boot:

post

WARNING:

The 'post' command has an optional "-d" argument; when this argument is passed it does a write and readback test of the eMMC and any other soldered down flash media on the TS-4100 or baseboards which is DESTRUCTIVE to the data on the disk! Note that it will not modify the boot sector contents of the eMMC which is needed by U-Boot. The eMMC chip is still tested for basic functionality without the argument passed, but no data is read or written from the disk itself.
