- bumped package version to 6.20 - as 6.20 prebuilt version is not available on same download site but source code is released at https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/releases so updated mk file to download source from git release - prebuilt binary not found in 6.20 package and also README.md does not mention any toolchain limitation for compilation so added source build command depending on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 target. - corrected License file name - installed memtest binaries to image folder like other bootable images(grub , kernel) are copied. - updated config help as per package README.md Signed-off-by: Kalpesh Panchal <kalpesh.panchal2@collins.com> Signed-off-by: Abhishek Anand <abhishek.anand@collins.com> Signed-off-by: Brandon Maier <brandon.maier@collins.com> [yann.morin.1998@free.fr: - fix check-package errors - fix hash file - better install commands ] Signed-off-by: Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

help
|
|
Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot does not support packages with a '+' sign in their
|
|
name, which explains why it is named memtest86 and not
|
|
memtest86+.
|
|
|
|
Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory
|
|
is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount
|
|
of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them
|
|
back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the
|
|
same as what was written to memory.
|
|
|
|
Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets. It
|
|
boots and autodetects hardware. Refer README.md for boot
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
It can be loaded and run either directly by a PC BIOS (legacy
|
|
or UEFI) or via an intermediate bootloader that supports the
|
|
Linux 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, or EFI handover boot protocol.
|
|
|
|
It can be added to the grub2 boot menu by adding the following
|
|
lines to the bottom of grub.cfg
|
|
|
|
Example for legacy BIOS using the Linux 16-bit boot protocol,
|
|
with built-in support for USB keyboards or running on a serial
|
|
line:
|
|
|
|
menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (USB keyboards)" {
|
|
linux16 /boot/memtest.bin keyboard=both
|
|
}
|
|
menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (serial line)" {
|
|
linux16 /boot/memtest.bin console=ttyS0,115200
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Or for UEFI BIOS using the Linux 32-bit or 64-bit boot
|
|
protocols, using USB keyboard:
|
|
|
|
menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (USB keyboards)" {
|
|
linux /EFI/BOOT/memtest.efi keyboard=both
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Other boot loaders will have similar requirements.
