Certain boards timeout when flashing

[sbertramrh]

This is similar to the issue raised previously in https://github.com/jumpstarter-dev/jumpstarter/issues/495 . With the new hardware added to the server, these boxes need an extension on the timeout. It won't timeout usually 1 in 4 attempts.

using version 0.7.0

@bennyz this looks like timing out while waiting for the uboot prompt perhaps?

@sbertramrh if you hit it again, can you send the rest of the exception? thanks. I will investigate with the existing data

[bennyz]

I believe this is the "standard" tftp timeout issue with those boards

[mangelajo]

Ohh, true, that could be, then those need a newer uboot then @sbertramrh is this the renesas s4 ? We need to update bootloader on those with this behavior

[mangelajo]

This is not an issue of jumpstarter itself, but more of our lab. Although j should provide nicer errors, not full blown exceptions

[mangelajo]

For the upstream project, the important part is captured in #57
