I did not see the self test error on ZTEX. But I saw some other errors
on my setup, Aleksey saw them too on his setup. Something like this:
SN 04A36E226F FPGA #2 error: pkt_comm_status=0x01, debug=0x0000
SN 04A36E226F error -1 doing r/w of FPGAs (LIBUSB_ERROR_IO)
SN 04A36E226F: Timeout.
It happens after a while. Not every time but sometimes. It is usually
enough to power off the boards and power them on again (I have connected
the PSU to a Silver Shield power manager to do so remotely, a modbus I/O
could also be used for this).
