Abstract
Efficient and effective testing systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a test system includes: a user interface configured to enable user interaction with the system; a test board configured to communicatively couple with a plurality of devices under test (DUTs), wherein the DUTs are compute express link (CXL) protocol compliant; and a tester configured to direct testing of the plurality of DUTs, wherein the tester includes a direct access device (DAX) interface that prevents corruption of DUTs. In one exemplary implementation, the tester isolates testing of a particular CXL enabled DUT from undesirable interference and corruption. The tester can prevent inappropriate writing over the DUT's memory. The DUTs reside in the separate per-device space of a Linux operating system rather than an extension of memory space. One of the plurality of DUTs can be a CXL typememory expander device. In one exemplary implementation, the direct access device (DAX) interface creates a unique DAX instance for each individual DUT included in the plurality of DUTs
