Abstract :
SMARTNet-2 was developed to provide a high-speed shared memory network for support of real-time parallel processing. Rapid prototyping put early versions of the SMARTNet-2 Diagnostic Software on the various computers being used for hardware board development and testing. This provided quick feedback to the hardware design engineers and ensured that all addressable hardware could be accessed by the software. As the hardware matured and new parts were added it was fairly simple to update the software to accommodate the new hardware. The authors detail the unique aspects of the design and implementation of the SMARTNet-2 diagnostic software. In addition, they discuss the command language and the methods used to achieve fault isolation testing
