This problem appears to be related to the Ethercat slave chip. It appears that
the some ethercat chips suffer from having broken solder joints under the BGA.
This can cause the ethercat chip to fail to initialize. Because the medulla
firmware waits infinitely for the Ethercat slave to start up, if it never
actually starts up the medulla will hang for ever.
Currently the only solution is to reflow/replace the ethercat chip. This
sometimes works, but doesn't always fix the broken solder joints.
