CPU
Use this option to test parts of the CPU card. When selected the following options are
displayed:
1. Bus
2. RAM
3. FLASH
4. VGA
Bus
The Bus exercise is not a test as such, but is used to debug CPU cards that have
fundamental faults, such as factory testing of newly manufactured CPU cards.
The CPU has been programmed to output sequences of events that can be seen on a
CRO, synchronised to the edge of L5 and L4. The data can be used to verify the
correct operation of the CPU control signals.
The sequence of operations performed during this routine are shown in table 3.
