Hi，

Can you tell me what is the difference between using the CCS tool and the memtester tool for DDR stress testing? Which test method does TI recommend? why?

Hi Feng,

CCS is an IDE used for loading/testing the binaries.
You can also create/build projects using CCS.
Similarly Memtester is the program that can be run using CCS.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rishabh，

Comparing the DDR stress test results of the two tools, I want to know which test method is more comprehensive, or equivalent？

Hi Feng,

As I explained previously memtester is the utility to test the DDR stability.
Hence you should use the same.

In order to run mem tester you need CCS tool.
Hence you need both the tools.

Hi,

I haven't heard back from you, I'm assuming you were able to resolve your issue.
If not, just post a reply below (or create a new thread if the thread has locked due to time-out).

Hi Rishabh，

Is my statement clear enough?

You mean that the test results using Avatar EMIF Tools(CCS Memory Test Tool) and Memtester (Linux Memory Test Tool) are the same.

But it seems that Memteser has higher requirements on the space of the measured memory.

Hi Feng,

Yes, both might have separate requirements due to difference in OS but the results are the same.
