The release of the Memtest86+ 8.10 memory testing program is now available. The program is not tied to operating systems and can be run directly from the BIOS/UEFI firmware or from a bootloader for complete memory testing. In case of problems, the built-in Memtest86+ memory failure map can be used in the Linux kernel to exclude problematic areas using the memmap option. The project code is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
Key innovations:
- An optional dark mode interface has been added.
- Support for new AMD and Intel CPU models has been implemented.
- The detection of multi-core CPUs has been accelerated.
- Added output of temperature sensor information for DDR5 memory.
- Resolved issues with testing overclocked DDR5 XMP 3.0 (Extreme Memory Profile).
- Improved support for BadRAM patterns to exclude defective memory areas from the address space.
- Improved SPD (Serial Presence Detect) detection on older ICH (I/O Controller Hub) chips.
- Improved support for VTxxx console.
- Improved support for Loongson architecture.
- Added support for building with the CLang compiler and LLD linker.
- Provided a single executable file build for UEFI and older boot methods.
