ABLE Application README - batty
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Summary

  The `batty' tool is the bring up and test tool for Simtec Electronics
  boards. It tests the CPU core, memory sections, Ethernet controllers,
  serial ports and various other parts of the hardware and ABLE's
  interface to it.

  The default mode of operation with no switches is to perform tests
  on every class of hardware. Not all hardware devices have a direct
  test. 

  Some core devices may appear twice. An example of this would be the
  core CPU tests, these are run once before all the other hardware is
  probed as an issue with the CPU core would render all further testing
  irrelevant, the CPU core appears for a second time when the system
  bus is scanned and is not tested a second time.

Usage

 > batty [--nomem] [--nonet] [--nocore] [--novideo] [--noadc] [--nocpld] 
   	 [--noextserloop] [--noserial] [-s | --sbqs] [-i <indent>]

Options

  --help
    Show basic help message and exit.

  --version

  -i <indent>
    Adjust the indentation level when operating in human readable mode.

  --nomem
    Do not perform the memory tests.

  --nonet
    Do not perform networking device tests    

  --nocore
    Do not perform core system tests

  --novideo
    Do not test video devices

  --noadc
    Do not test the ADCs

  --nocpld
    Do not test the core system logic

  --noextserloop
    Do not test the serial external loopback

  --noserial
