| 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 as an i486 program and autodetects hardware. It can | |
| be added to the grub2 boot menu by adding the following | |
| lines to the bottom of /boot/grub/grub.cfg - note the use of | |
| linux16. | |
| menuentry "Memtest86+" { | |
| linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin | |
| } | |
| Other boot loaders will have similar requirements. | |
