This is a memory reliability testing tool, implemented by combining http://limadriver.org/ and http://pyropus.ca/software/memtester/ Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 (only) because the license of memtester applies to this work as a whole. Compilation instructions: cmake . make -j2 Now you should have the lima-memtester static binary. Running it only requires any Linux kernel with the mali400 kernel module version r3p2 or older and a framebuffer driver (for example, the sunxi-3.4 kernel using the default configuration satisfies these requirements). This test does not depend on anything in the userland and should work with any Linux distribution. It can be run with root privileges as: ./lima-memtester 100M The usage is exactly the same as for the original memtester. The only difference is that a spinning textured cube demo is simultaneusly running in a separate thread. Earlier experiments with overclocking RAM on Allwinner A10 and Allwinner A20 hardware have shown that Mali400 usually starts misbehaving first. Exposing faults, which are very difficult to reproduce on CPU-only workloads. If the hardware is unstable (for example RAM is clocked too high), the system may deadlock after running this test for a while. Or the test may start showing the following error messages in the console: memtester version 4.3.0 (32-bit) Copyright (C) 2001-2012 Charles Cazabon.
