I'm not having much success in finding an 8031 POST (power on self test) online. I'd be especially interested in tests from a microprocessor manufacturer. For example, are there published tests to verify that the 128 bytes of indirect memory are reliable? Are there simple tests for the SFRs? Thanks for your comments. Robert Berkey
I found that reference: Borer, A.J.: Total Memory Test, Microprocessors and Microsystems, May 1980. Also of interest is: McEliece, R.J.: The Reliability of Computer Memories, Scientific American, January 1985. I have written an explanation of how the Borer test works. If you post your e-mail address, I will send you a copy.
