Problem Title:
Hardware Debugger M1.3: Cable Self Check fails or doesn't run specified
number of cycles.



Problem Description:
Keywords: debug, cable, self, check, cycle

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Cable Self Check does not seem to be working correctly. The specified
"number of cycles" is set for 6, no matter what test is selected, a
new dialog comes up which shows "number of cycles=1",
passes=0,fails=1,yield=0.0.  This usually means that the Test Header
was not connected to the cable or power (VCC/GND) were not connected
to the Test Header.


Solution 1:

Insert the Test Header into the xchecker pod, and connect VCC and GND
to the connectors "red" and "black" respectively.
