  • Patent number: 7840843
    Abstract: A testing system for an embedded system is provided. The testing system includes a plurality of devices and one or more host computers. Each device, which includes the embedded system to be tested, is connected to the host computer via a network based on the network file system protocol. The host computers are further connected with a control server, and each of the host computers comprises a root file system. The control server is configured for providing an interface for a user to set test parameters, controlling each of the host computers to invoke a test program, thereby testing the embedded system according to the test parameters, and receiving test results of the embedded system from the host computer. A related testing method is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100042353
    Abstract: A method is provided to test working condition of LED indicators on hard disk drives connected to a computer. The method calls an API function from an operating system of the computer to create a main thread, and creates a sub thread for each of the hard disk drives connected to the computer using the main thread. The method further activates an LED indicator on each of the hard disk drives by interchanging data between the hard disk drive and the computer according to the sub thread. In addition, the method determines whether the LED indicator is workable by checking a working state of the LED indicator on each of the hard disk drive drives, and generates a working condition report for the LED indicator on each of the hard disk drives by integrating the determination results.

  • Patent number: 7478004
    Abstract: A method for testing a connection between an audio receiving device and a motherboard is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: preparing a data storage medium containing an original audio data file; playing the data storage medium on an audio playing device with audio signals generated thereof, the audio playing device being connected to the audio receiving device; receiving the audio signals by the audio receiving device; transmitting the audio signals to the motherboard via the connection between the audio receiving device and the motherboard; outputting the audio signals from an output port; receiving the audio signals by an input port; recording the audio signals as a recorded audio data file; comparing the two audio data file; and reporting a test result indicating that the connection is in good condition if the two audio data files are identical.
