-n
Run program in Manufacturing Loop mode.
With this option, the –I, iteration number option, is ignored. The program will run in
manufacturing loop mode. Power on/off is supported. After each test, the program will
prompt user to exchange the UUT before starts another testing.
-s
Skip eeprom programming process.
With this option, the program will skip the eeprom programming process. However, it will
check for the eeprom content and print a warning message if the content is not valid.
The -m and -f combination will create the following behavior:
With both -f and -m:
Program will not validate the eeprom content and go ahead to prompt user for the MAC address. It
programs MAC address and EEPROM content and then checks the validity of eeprom content at the end of
programming.
Loading EEPROM content from eeprom.bin: passed
Programming EEPROM from eeprom.bin....: passed
Checking EEPROM content...............: passed
-f only:
Program will check the validity of eeprom. If it is not valid, it will act as a), -f -m option. If it is good, it
saves the MAC address from eeprom, program new eeprom binary file content into EEPROM and then
restores the original MAC address. It checks the validity of eeprom content once more at the end of
programming.
Checking EEPROM content...............: passed
Loading EEPROM content from <file>....: passed
Programming EEPROM from <file>........: passed
Checking EEPROM content...............: passed
or
Checking EEPROM content...............: invalid
Loading EEPROM content from <file>....: passed
Programming EEPROM from <file>........: passed
Checking EEPROM content...............: passed
-m only:
