- 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.
