Hello All, Here's a question, would it make sense to run a memory test of a microprocessor, such as the 8052?
For example, on power up, write a pattern of bits to each RAM location and then read back the pattern to verify that each byte of RAM is working properly. With only 256 bytes of RAM in the typical 8052, it wouldn't take long to test the RAM. Would it make sense to write such a routine in C or would it better to use inline assembly? Several other questions then come to mind, such as what do you do upon a failure. Likewise is there some way to perform a similar test on read only code memory or on in system programmable flash memory? Just curious what other people have done in this area. Thanks!
