Checking DM3 Architecture Boards
3. You will get the following response:
Do you wish to continue (y/n)?
If you answer Y, the following will be printed to the screen:
dm3post processing...
The success/failure message will be printed to the screen when POST is complete.
4.3 Checking all the Boards in a System
The DM3post diagnostic utility provides an option to run POST on a chassis level. By using the
chassis option (
-c), DM3post will retrieve the results of the last run POST for all DM3 boards in
the chassis. By using the chassis option (
-c) with the reset (-r) option, you can run POST on all
DM3 boards in the system.
When using the chassis option, it is not necessary to provide the bus and slot numbers. Any option
other than the reset option will be ignored when using the chassis option.
In addition to output on the screen, more detailed output is logged to a log file, dm3post.log, by
default.
4.4 Unsupported Boards
The Intel

Dialogic
®
System Release software will not prevent you from installing an unsupported
board. However, the configuration manager will not show any unsupported boards. An error
message about the unsupported board(s) will appear in a log file in the log directory with the
following filename: rtf*.txt (for example, rtflog-10072005-14h47m25.639s.txt). The following is a
sample error message:

slot-9, model-256, serialNumber-KU005523 is not supported in this release
4.5 Tracing Firmware
This section describes how to use the DebugAngel tool to perform low-level firmware tracing for
low-level debugging. For more information about the DebugAngel tool, refer to Chapter 12,
“DebugAngel Reference”.
DebugAngel polls the DM3 boards in the system and posts qPrintf( ) statements from the
resources and DM3 kernel to a log file.
To use DebugAngel, follow these steps:
1. Install the service and start it running in automatic mode by entering the following command:
DebugAngel -install
