Description

Running systemcore os alpha 11, wpilib 2027_alpha6. VH109 radio in "Systemcore" mode

On boot, our vision coprocessors don't reliably connect to NetworkTables ~15-20% of the time. Unplugging & replugging in the ethernet port on the coprocessor fixes this.

Didn't seem to have this problem last year (os alpha 5)

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce boot-time NetworkTables connectivity on systemcore os alpha 11 with wpilib 2027_alpha6 and a VH109 radio in Systemcore mode, recording when vision coprocessors fail and whether ethernet replugging restores them. Done means the boot connection failure is identified and corrected, with a regression check for the reported case.
