Testing and debugging MDI drivers

Running the automated network driver test suites

The HDK includes test suites that exercise the board and the driver to ensure that they function correctly. Different test suite packages are provided for SVR5 and SCO OpenServer 5:

SVR5: Use the ndtests test suites to verify MDI drivers.
Use the spm utility to study performance latencies for an MDI driver and device after basic device and driver sanity has been confirmed by the ndtests suite.
SCO OpenServer 5: Use the ant test suites to verify MDI drivers.

These test suite packages can be installed directly from the HDK CD-ROM or downloaded from the test suite area of the HDK homepage.

NOTE: When installing HDK packages on an SCO OpenServer 5 system that has not previously had the HDK installed, you must install the O5patch package before installing any other packages.
