Abstract:
An apparatus is used for testing an embedded device with identification information. The apparatus includes a storage device. A monitoring program and a testing program are installed in the storage device. The monitoring program receives the identification information from the embedded device through a serial connection formed between the apparatus and the embedded device after logging in to the embedded device through the serial connection. The testing program is copied to the embedded device to test the embedded device by the monitoring program through a network connection formed between the apparatus and the embedded device. A system and a method for testing the embedded device are also provided.
Abstract:
A testing device is provided to include a pre-boot execution environment (PXE) server, a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server, and a computer. The computer is connected to the PXE server and the DHCP server via a network. The PXE server includes an image file stored therein, a communicating module of server terminal and a communicating module of client terminal. The computer includes a network device for supporting PXE functions. A testing method is provided to include following steps: connecting the PXE server and the DHCP server to the computer via the network, the DHCP server assigning an IP address to the computer, the computer downloading the communicating module of client terminal from the PXE server, for communicating with the communicating module of server terminal, and the image file being run to test the computer.
