commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9bb306bd6411071cd07529923b825627502c794d
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

When running multiple instances of emulator in parallel, the login
prompt can take some time to appear.

Use a large timeout when waiting for the prompt to avoid random
failures.
