Yes, but I think I did a test earlier, and the riscv test took more
like 10 seconds, but can also easily finish in less than a second. I
did the test a while ago, so I could misremember.

nocera: 
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/results/host/nocera1.examine/
joubertin: 
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/results/host/joubertin0.examine/

nocera have been here for a while, since before 2015. I don't really
know how to find out how old the machine is. joubertin* have never
been used with osstest so far, but the first mention of it I can find
of it is from 2017.
