---------------------------+--------------------
 When using the RTEMS automated tester configured with TFTP, there is a
 state that can occur in which the tester never times out a test. This was
 discovered when testing with the AArch64 Xilinx ZynqMP BSP where the board
 did not actually power on even though it was instructed to do so. This
 left the tester running the TFTP server waiting more than 4 full days
 (left to run over a long weekend) for the target to start without
 progressing to the next test.

 The failure to start on the target side was due to a missing minimum
 settling time between off and on states that is apparently influenced by
 the environment.
