Memory test system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a memory test system and a memory test method which are applied to a computer which comprises a memory and an operation system. The method comprises the following steps: setting a jumper cap on the main board of the computer through GPIO and powering up the computer to carry out system initialization; detecting whether the level of the GPIO on the main board is low level; when the level of the GPIO is high level, mapping the virtual address used by the operation system on the first physical address of the memory; when the level of the GPIO is low level, mapping then virtual address used by the operation system on the second physical address of the memory; executing the memory test program to test the memory part which is not mapped; detecting whether the memory is completely tested; when the memory is not completely tested, changing the level of the GPIO through the changing of the jumper cap setting on the GPIO. Through the memory test system and method, the virtual address used by the operation system can be mapped to different physical memory addresses so as to integrally test the whole physical memory of the computer.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a computer component testing system and method, in particular to a memory testing system and method. Background technique

[0002] In a computer system with physical memory, whether it is in the research and development stage or the production stage, a program is required to detect the inserted physical memory to ensure that the computer system can run normally. In the actual memory test program, there is often incompleteness. For example, the test program under the Linux system often tests virtual memory. In this way, there is no way to test the memory occupied by the computer system, and test loopholes appear. In addition, there is no way to test the memory that is not detected by the computer system, thus causing the problem of memory test loopholes.

[0003] In order to test the physical memory in the computer system, even the part occupied by the operating system can be tested, a mechanism must be provided so that the op...
