Need escape route for self tests

[reuben]

Once the XO has begun standard full test the user needs a way to exit the tests if they are satisfied rather then waiting for the complete test to finish.

[wmb@…]

There is already a special key that does that. It is in the lower right hand corner, just below the game key diamond.

[reuben]

:-)

I think they were looking for a KB based option.

[Quozl]

Tell them that it wouldn't work if the keyboard was faulty?

[reuben]

Alright Alright..Let me push back and see if I can get a specific use case.

[wmb@…]

I have already implemented bailout via the ESC key.

[reuben]

Thanks. They'll be glad to hear that.

[wmb@…]

What they might not be so glad of is potential interactions between that and the use of the keyboard during specific tests.

Test versions at http://dev.laptop.org/~wmb/{q4c04ma.rom,q3b23ma.rom}

ok test-all

[wmb@…]

svn 2688

[Quozl]

svn 2688 tests out fine for left rocker key entry.

svn 2690 fixes test-all. q4c04jg.rom

Also, when using test-all, but not the rocker key entry, the user may interrupt self tests using the standard OpenFirmware keyboard interrupt. That is the frame key on membrane keyboards, or the del key on mechanical keyboards. The del key was only recently fixed and isn't in a release yet - #10318.

[Quozl]

Fixed in Q4C05 for XO-1.75. May we close, Reuben?

[reuben]

Can we monitor until it hits 1.0 and 1.5 OFW release.

[Quozl]

Sure. To be closed once Q2F06 and Q3B24 are released.

[Quozl]

Released in Q2F06 and Q3C01.
