BIT executes before any COTS O/S, and passes control to the O/S upon completion. Testing in conjunction with a COTS O/S is accomplished by BCS, (see below).

PPC7D features the most effective deployed test strategy in the industry, highly adapted to the characteristics of Background Condition Screening (BCS) modern COTS silicon and COTS operating systems (O/Ss). BCS provides continuous, online health monitoring. It runs This strategy is implemented through our built-in test (BIT) as a task thread, featuring non-intrusive tests that are and Background Condition Screening (BCS) components. specifically designed to be co-operative with the normal functioning of the COTS O/S that is running the To facilitate smooth technology insertion the object code application. In addition to having minimal impact on modules, for BIT and BCS, run on all PowerX board family system latency, this method avoids a difficulty that arises members of any age and variant produced since the when ‘calling back’ into a traditional, stand-alone test family’s inception in 1995. firmware, written in ignorance of the O/S and probably assuming exclusive use of board resources. Such firmwares Built-in test (BIT) may not gaurantee the restoration of the entire and BIT provides an initialization test for all on-board complex machine state as the O/S left it. BCS works chiefly functional areas of PPC7D. Highest possible coverage, through O/S mechanisms and does not compromise the machine state imposed by the O/S. Radstone’s BCS for VxWorks is downloadable or can be Application linked to the VxWorks O/S executable image. It can be launched from the VxWorks shell or from an application. COTS Operating System Configuration can be static, via the Tornado Project Tool, or dynamic via an interactive menu. Radstone Drivers Configurable parameters include the BCS task priority, plus BCS various test options and other characteristics. An error log Board is stored in Flash, in addition to visual indication of a Support Package ESP detected failure. An application interface is provided for SilverChip immediate invocation of individual tests in addition to the BIT default running of tests in background mode.
