Figure 116 Self-test log data structure
The data structure contains the descriptor of Self-test that the device has performed. Each descriptor is 24 bytes long
and the self-test data structure is capable to contain up to 21 descriptors.
After 21 descriptors have been recorded, the oldest descriptor will be overwritten with new descriptor.
Self-test log pointer points the most recent descriptor. When there is no descriptor the value is 0. When there is
descriptor(s) the value is 1 through 21.
14.39.7 Selective self-test log data structure
The Selective self-test log is a log that may be both written and read by the host. This log allows the host to select
the parameters for the self-test and to monitor the progress of the self-test. The following table defines the contents
of the Selective self-test log which is 512 bytes long. All multi-byte fields shown in these data structures follow the
specifications for byte ordering.
