All devices that are available to MOTLoad for validation/verification testing are represented by
a unique device path string. Most MOTLoad tests require the operator to specify a test device
at the MOTLoad command line when invoking the test.
A listing of all device path strings can be displayed through the
devShow
command. If an SBC
device does not have a device path string, it is not supported by MOTLoad and cannot be
directly tested. There are a few exceptions to the device path string requirement, like testing
RAM, which is not considered a true device and can be directly tested without a device path
string. Refer to the
devShow
command description page in the
MOTLoad Firmware Package
User’s Manual
.
Most MOTLoad tests can be organized to execute as a group of related tests (a test suite)
through the use of the
testSuite
command. The expert operator can customize their
testing by defining and creating a custom testSuite(s). The list of built-in and user-defined
MOTLoad testSuites, and their test contents, can be obtained by entering
testSuite -
dtestSuite
at the MOTLoad prompt. All testSuites that are included as part of a product
specific MOTLoad firmware package are product specific. For more information, refer to the
command description page in the
MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual
.
Test results and test status are obtained through the
testStatus
,
errorDisplay
and
taskActive
commands. For more information, refer to the appropriate command
description page in the
MOTLoad Firmware Package User’s Manual
.
5.7
Using MOTLoad
Interaction with MOTLoad is performed via a command line interface through a serial port on
the SBC, which is connected to an X-terminal or other terminal emulator (for example,
Window’s Hypercomm). The default MOTLoad serial port settings are: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no
parity.
5.7.1
Command Line Interface
The MOTLoad command line interface is similar to a UNIX command line shell interface.
Commands are initiated by entering a valid MOTLoad command (a text string) at the MOTLoad
command line prompt and pressing the carriage-return key to signify the end of input.
MOTLoad then performs the specified action. An example of a MOTLoad command line
prompt is shown below. The MOTLoad prompt changes according to what product it is used on
(for example, HXEB100, CPCI6200, MVME5500).
