This PR addresses a race condition between a joint's homing status indicator and the state machine running the homing procedure. It was well reproducible using linuxcncrsh sending successive homing commands.
Root cause:
The joint's
homingstatus is deasserted when a joint has been processed. This status update happens in both the EMC_STAT sent via NML and the HAL pins for the joints. It was possible to send a second homing command via NML and fail before the previous homing action was completed, even though the system indicated no homing in progress.The previously homing joint was marked ready with
homedstatus asserted andhomingstatus deasserted. However, the state machine running the homing process was not yet done and had thehoming_activeinternal state still asserted, even tough all joints'homingstatus had been cleared. The processing of the subsequent homing command would fail with an error becausehoming_activewas still asserted.The solution is to delay the deassertion of the joints'
homingstatus indicator until the state machine is done, as indicated byhoming_active. This was fixed for both the NML EMC_STAT and HAL pins.
