You have to implement the required tests for your hardware (unless
these already exist) and then enable them in your board config file;
please see doc/README.POST for details.

BTW: running these tests always for each and every boot is probably a
very bad idea, as some of these testes are pretty expensive in terms
of time needed.  Also, some may have specific requirements to the
hardware configuration (like there must [or nust not] be network
cable attached, etc.).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
