TMS320C6416 Power-On Self Test (Rev. A)

The Power-On Self Test (POST) is designed to verify the operation of the TMS320C6416. Six modules are included in this test: Chk6xTest, MemoryEdmaTest, VcpTest, TcpTest, McbspTest, and TimerTest. These modules check the proper operation of the CPU core, internal memory and several on-chip peripherals (EDMA, McBSPs, timers, Viterbi and turbo decoder coprocessors).

It is important to note that this program only provides a confidence check. It is not as comprehensive as the tests done at production, which thoroughly check the device?s logic, performance, and electrical parameters.
