#### Discover hidden CAN boards
This section describes the procedure that you should use when you cannot discover a `CAN` board connected to a specific `ETH` board, even if the master `ETH` board is in `maintenance` mode and you checked that there are no hardware issues related to the cabling.

These two steps are fundamental for sending the discovery signal while the `CAN` boards are booting. In the animated GIF below, the boards that are not discoverable (e.g., `strain2`) are in the status `canBootloader` and not `canApplication`. Forcing the restart of the `ETH` boards is crucial as it will power-cycle the `CAN` boards too. The discovery command should be then sent at that right moment, that is when the `CAN` board is in `canBootloader`.
