RTEMS Tools | rtems-test: Single test run can hang indefinitely (#23)

Tue Mar 4 21:26:18 UTC 2025

Kinsey Moore created an issue: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/tools/rtems-tools/-/issues/23

Assignee: Kinsey Moore

## Summary
Discovered on a tftp-based board config where the UART reset drops initial characters on hand-off from the bootloader, the rtems-test command can hang indefinitely. The timeout and max_test_period were set to defaults (180s and 300s, respectively).

This output was observed on a monitoring stream:
```

>From what I can tell, if the test never starts no timeouts apply.

This has been something I've seen off and on for a while now and while this was produced on 6 branch rtems-tools, no significant changes to this code have occurred on main.
