   Is there a test suite for Pi2/armv7 ?

   I've got a couple of old-ish Pi2 v1.1 32 bit hosts. Both   
   have started to behave strangely, one having trouble booting   
   and the other reporting what could be thought of as "off by one"   
   errors that cause processes to report errors.   
      
   They're the first two Pi2s purchased, in 2015. They've been   
   powered on close to 24/7 since and I'm starting to wonder   
   if they're wearing out. I didn't think it possible, but I'm   
   running out of other ideas that make sense.   
      
   Is there a hardware test suite for the Raspberry Pi that can   
   identify faulty hardware? I know, this sounds a bit like the   
   halting problem, which is insoluble, but I think it's slightly   
   more tractable, maybe. Perhaps what I'm looking for is a kind   
   of fuzzing test, though fuzzing usually tests software error   
   handling and I'm looking for hardware errors (I think!).   
      
   Test suites for i386 PCs used to be common, especially for   
   memory. Something similar for the Pi2 would be a start.   
      
   Thanks for reading,
