Initial implementation assumed a single IFS test image file with a fixed name ff-mm-ss.scan. (where ff, mm, ss refers to family, model and stepping of the core). Subsequently, it became evident that supporting more than one test image file is needed to provide more comprehensive test coverage. (Test coverage in this scenario refers to testing more transistors in the core to identify faults). The other alternative of increasing the size of a single scan test image file would not work as the upper bound is limited by the size of memory area reserved by BIOS for loading IFS test image. Introduce "current_batch" file which accepts a number. Writing a number to the current_batch file would load the test image file by name ff-mm-ss-<xy>.scan, where <xy> is the number written to the "current_batch" file in hex. Range check of the input is done to verify it not greater than 0xff. For e.g if the scan test image comprises of 6 files, they would be named: 06-8f-06-01.scan 06-8f-06-02.scan 06-8f-06-03.scan 06-8f-06-04.scan 06-8f-06-05.scan 06-8f-06-06.scan And writing 3 to current_batch would result in loading 06-8f-06-03.scan above. The file can also be read to know the currently loaded file. And testing a system looks like: for each scan file do load the IFS test image file (write to the batch file) for each core do test the core with this set of tests done done Qualify few error messages with the test image file suffix to provide better context.
