This takes ~4 seconds on Linux / Windows according to the logs

I think we need to add this step to the jenkins script and not do it by default in libCI.
I.e., make this a command-line switch that's OFF by default, and the jenkins script will use it.

make this a command-line switch

python run-unit-tests.py ... --acroname-reset

Should enforce Acroname and reset it.

Look good, you have another PR for deploy?

Yes, marked you as reviewer, I will also attach a CI run with it.

@maloel , approved?

It took 19 seconds to reset, enumerate, etc.... that's pretty long. My only reservation is about the case of the text, maybe I'd shorten it, too :)

I will fix the case issue.
Not sure how to shorten it, I will try :)

The 15 seconds are not from the reset.
Its from this 2 lines

            acroname.disable_ports( sleep_on_change = 5 )
            acroname.enable_ports( sleep_on_change = MAX_ENUMERATION_TIME )

First one add 5 sec sleep after turning off all ports
Second line sleeps 10 seconds after enabling all ports.

Since it's the discovery phase we want to do it properly because if the camera is not identified here, all device related UT will fail.
