Diagnostic Test Groups
Group 1–RAM
This group tests the RAM to ensure that the CPU can correctly read and
write from RAM addresses. Table 5-3 gives the test numbers and names of
the RAM tests.
Group 2–68070 CPU
This group tests the 68070 I
2
C interface,
UART interface,
and timers. Tests
5 through 7 test the 68070 I
2
C interface, tests 8 through 18 test the UART
interface, and tests 19 through 21 test the timers. Table 5-4 gives the test
numbers and names of the 68070 CPU tests.
