That's odd, I can't reproduce (this test is quicker than the following
test_arm_emcraft_sf2 which start u-boot then timeouts and start the kernel).

My guess is network issues, since this test use a different mirror:
archive.raspberrypi.org

Gerd already raised this problem (timeout reached while fetching
artifacts) to Cleber.
Cleber, can we add test_setup() methods that use different timeouts?
