ABSTRACT:
A test system and method for testing a processor circuit board having at least one processor. The system includes a processor control circuit connected to the processor circuit board which enables test routines to be run on the processor of the processor circuit board, a peripheral emulator circuit, having a connector for connecting to at least one peripheral connector on the processor circuit board, for emulating at least one function of at least one peripheral device, a response circuit measuring the response of the processor circuit board to a test routine, a main controller in electronic communication with the processor control circuit and the response circuit. In operation, the processor control circuit receives instructions from the main controller and causes the processor on the processor circuit board to run a test routine. The response circuit will then communicate the results of the test routine to the main controller.
