Chapter 4
Project Overview
The project includes a Sprit level application and an on-board diagnostic software (self-test). The Sprit level star just after starting
the debug or power on the board. The user LEDs (LED1, LED2, and LED3) indicate if the board is level along the horizontal axis
of the board. Tilt the board towards or away from you to see the LEDs change. To start the diagnostic self-test, press the user
button SW5.
4.1 Self-test application
The self-test application works through a command-line interpreter. Once start, it displays a list of the tests included in the terminal,
following you could find a list of the tests:
• level: Spirit level test (accelerometer running at the start)
• SDRAM: test the on-board SDRAM
• SDCARD: test the SD card
• lcd: test the LCD and touch controller
• led: test the ISP buttons and users LEDs.
• ether: test the ethernet PHY
• spifi: test the QSPI/SPIFI
• usb: test the usb as host on HS
• audio: test the audio lines and codec as well as USB device on FS
• rtc: test the RTC
You can access to this menu by pressing the command “h” followed by an enter. You can find a brief description of each test and
their necessary settings in the following sections.
4.1.1 SDRAM test
This test will initialize the External Memory Controller (EMC) and write some data to the SDRAM, and later read the same address
to compare if the write and read connect match.
Settings: JP14 and JP15 in SD position (2-3).
Results:
SDRAM Write Data and Read Data TEST PASSED (write/read data match)
DRAM Write Data and Read Data TEST FAIL, this could be caused by:
• write/read data do not match
• Data bus check fail

4.1.2 SD CARD test
This test will write some date into a SD card, and later read it to verify if the write/read content match.
Settings: No special settings required, just insert a SD card in J7.
Results:
TEST PASSED (write/read data match)
TEST FAIL could be caused by:
• write/read data do not match
• SD card detect failed
• SD host init failed
• SD card init failed
4.1.3 LCD test
The test will display in the LCD a color bar pattern and a cursor that will follow the touch position.
Settings: JP4 and JP5 should be in SD position (2-3). RK043FN02H-CT: 4.3" LCD Panel required.
Results: The test will show the image in the screen for an identified time until the user press SW5.
TEST FAIL could be caused by:
• LCD init failed
• I2C init failed
• Touch panel init failed

4.1.4 LED test
The test will flash the in-board LEDs while its respective ISP button is held down: press ISP2 for LED1, ISP1 for LED2, and SPI0
for LED3.
Settings: No special settings required.
Results: You should see the LEDs toggling; the test will run indefinitely until press SW5.
4.1.5 Ethernet test
The test will transmit 20 number broadcast frame and print the number of received frames. To avoid the received number overflow,
the transmit/receive loop will automatically break when 20 numbers are received.
Settings: JP11-12-13 in Ethernet position (1-2) and JP4-5 in EN position (1-2).
Results: You should see the package transmit and receive success in the terminal.
TEST FAIL could be caused by:
• Memory allocation failed
• PHY init failed
• Link down (There is no connection)
• The PHY link down

4.1.6 QSPI/SPIFI test
The test will program the external serial flash using polling and after read through AHB bus to compare if the write/read data match.
Settings: No special settings required.
Results:
SPIFI test succeeded if all the data match.
SPIFI test failed if no data match.
4.1.7 USB host test
The test will support the mouse device. It prints the mouse operation when the mouse device is attached.
Settings: JP9 1-2, JP11-12-13 in USB position (2-3), power from JP1 and a USB mouse connected to J2.
