On which platform? Note that implementing a memory test that actually triggers burst mode accesses is really, really tricky. You probably do NOT want to do this while running from flash (i. e. from a very restrictive envrionment). You might want to have a look at examples/test_burst* but note that this code was written for a MPC8xx system, so changes will be required for 83xx or 85xx. Also note that a much more reliable test for burst mode errors is to boot Linux with root file system over NFS and then compile the Linux kernel on the target.
