memtest86+: new package 



Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program.

Please note that this is the forked memtest86+ program and not
the original memtest86 which has different licensing. Buildroot
does not support packages with a '+' sign in their name.

Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory
is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount
of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them
back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the
same as what was written to memory.

Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets.
It boots as an i486 program and autodetects hardware.

[Peter: tweak help text as suggested by Thomas]

	  Memtest86+ is a bootable standalone memory test program.



	  Buildroot does not support packages with a '+' sign in their

	  name, which explains why it is named memtest86 and not

	  memtest86+.



	  Memtest86+ is a utility designed to test whether your memory

	  is in working order. It repeatedly writes an enormous amount

	  of different patterns to all memory locations and reads them

	  back again and verifies whether the result of the read is the

	  same as what was written to memory.



	  Memtest86+ will only work on 32-bit or 64-bit x86 targets.

	  It boots as an i486 program and autodetects hardware. It can

	  be added to the grub2 boot menu by adding the following lines

	  to the bottom of /boot/grub/grub.cfg - note the use of linux16.



	  menuentry "Memtest86+" {

		 linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin

	  }



	  Other boot loaders will have similar requirements.
