5	  Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program.
6
7	  Buildroot does not support packages with a '+' sign in their
8	  name, which explains why it is named memtest86 and not
9	  memtest86+.
10
11	  Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory
12	  is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount
13	  of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them
14	  back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the
15	  same as what was written to memory.
16
17	  Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets. It
18	  boots and autodetects hardware. Refer README.md for boot
19	  options.
20
21	  It can be loaded and run either directly by a PC BIOS (legacy
22	  or UEFI) or via an intermediate bootloader that supports the
23	  Linux 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, or EFI handover boot protocol.
24
25	  It can be added to the grub2 boot menu by adding the following
26	  lines to the bottom of grub.cfg
27
28	  Example for legacy BIOS using the Linux 16-bit boot protocol,
29	  with built-in support for USB keyboards or running on a serial
30	  line:
31
32	  menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (USB keyboards)" {
33	      linux16 /boot/memtest.bin keyboard=both
34	  }
35	  menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (serial line)" {
36	      linux16 /boot/memtest.bin console=ttyS0,115200
37	  }
38
39	  Or for UEFI BIOS using the Linux 32-bit or 64-bit boot
40	  protocols, using USB keyboard:
41
42	  menuentry "Start Memtest86+ (USB keyboards)" {
43	      linux /EFI/BOOT/memtest.efi keyboard=both
44	  }
45
46	  Other boot loaders will have similar requirements.
