Hello all,

We have tracked down the issue and found that memtest86 tool is using a 
function call with rare but legitimate NULL value which causes memory test 
failure.
Currently we are working to update BIOS firmware with fix to prevent this 
memory test function call failure from memtest86 tool.
Again this is protocol interface issue between memtest86 and our FW driver, 
there is no hardware issue found with memory on Minnowboard.

Thank you,
Keerock

Hello,
Intel internal team is also looking into this issue and working with Passmark 
to clearly root cause this issue. There is no hardware issue found and we will 
further continue to address this.

Thank you,

Subject: [MinnowBoard] Passmark Memtest86

Hello MinnowBoard list.

Just a quick headsup here: A few people have reported that running the popular 
Memtest86 diagnostic by Passmark on a MinnowBoard Turbot produces errors. We 
have replicated the issue as well on a NUC and Intel's Bayley Bay CRB. When 
passmark mode is Parallel, Memtest86 shows errors, but when the passmark mode 
is single core, no errors surface.

All data thus far points to an issue with Passmark software. We will be 
reaching out to Passmark this week. If anybody has friends there, let us know.

Just wanted to get a note out there.

Have a good day,
Brian
