In my experience it's always been a clock issue ... which usually makes for
a reasonable quick fix. Without the clock, the pod can't run and you won't
be able to do any tests. Easiest thing is to use your scope to back trace
where the problem is.

(If RUN UUT works, then you might just have a watchdog issue, but you
mentioned that no operations were working correctly.)
