NV - Non-Verbose Mode

Upon detecting an error, the tests display a substantial amount of data. To

avoid the necessity of watching the scrolling display, you can choose a

mode that suppresses all messages except test name and

PASSED or FAILED.

This mode is called non-verbose and you can invoke it prior to calling a

command by entering NV.

Example:

PPC1-Diag>nv;uart lpbke

UART LPBKE:External Loopback .......Running --> FAILED

PPC1-Diag>

NV causes the monitor to run the UART external loopback test, but show

only the name of the test and the results (pass/fail).

PPC1-Diag>uart lpbke

UART LPBKE:External Loopback .......Running --> FAILED

UART/LPBKE Test Failure Data:

RTS loopback to CTS or RI Failed: COM2

PPC1-Diag>

Without nv, the failure data is displayed.

SD - Switch Directories

The SD command allows you to switch back and forth between PPCBug’s

diagnostic directory (the prompt reads

PPC

-Diag>) and the debug

directory (the prompt reads

PPC

-Diag>).
