Introduces the implementation of MicroBlaze board support in the core functionalities.

Downloader Module:

  • added Microblaze-specific support in the existing methods to handle the required boot partition files

Uart Module

  • added a method to request IP and retrieve it for Microblaze Boards
  • implemented a method for verifying if the board booted successfully

Jtag Module

  • added a method to enable booting MicroBlaze boards over jtag

Manager Module

  • the new method added is to handle the Microblaze booting process, uart and network initialization

Network Module

  • Introduced a monkey patch for paramiko.packet.Packetizer.read_message to skip MAC verification errors caused by Dropbear SSH compatibility issues
  • added a flag to detect MicroBlaze boards through board name
  • adjusted SSH connection settings to increase the window size, packet size, and enabled PTY mode
  • updated check_dmesg to support dmesg logging and filtering for Microblaze boards

The current implementation of the paramiko monkey-patch in network.py affects the paramiko library globally, making any other plugin using the paramiko library in the same python process will also inherit the patched behavior. I will revisit the implementation to find a possible fix for this scenario.

Removed the monkey patch that ignore MAC mismatch errors during SSH connections to Microblaze boards. some tests are expected to fail due to the Dropbear server issues on Microblaze boards. These failures are not due to script logics but rather server's behavior. Once the Dropbear issue is resolved, The changes and tests are expected to pass successfully.

@Zvckkk Hi! I'll look over the PR in a bit, but just dropping in to say that afaik the dropbear issue should be fixed (fixing commit). Which version of boot files are you using to test this?
