Do today's micros fail often enough to make the effort and time required for a good POST worthwhile? Probably not! More to the point: if the micro itself is assumed to be faulty, how can you trust it to correctly run a self-test...?! It's a chicken-and-egg situation, isn't it?! IF you want amy sort of self-test, it's probably only worth trying to test external interfaces - unless you go to the lengths of redundant hardware and majority voting... External interfaces can be tested with loop-backs, etc... |
