FPGA configuration check should power-cycle failing board only #27

Closed lplana closed 6 years ago

lplana commented 6 years ago

file: async_bmp_controller.py function: _set_board_state

Currently, when an FPGA gets the wrong bit file on power up, the server retries the power up command in the whole set of boards that were passed to the function. This is not optimal as a different board could fail in the second attempt and so on.

It would be better to power-cycle the failing board only.

This issue was solved in branch 'fpga_check_update'.
