Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for latching E-Stop switches. In this mode, the E-Stop clears after the switch is engaged and then released; software-triggered E-Stops require the same cycle.
    • Added a serial command to view and change the latching setting. Changes are rejected while the E-Stop is active.
    • Board configuration can set the default switch mode. The settings portal does not yet expose E-Stop configuration.

hhvrc added 2 commits October 8, 2026 20:53
Latching mode clears the E-Stop when the switch is disengaged instead of requiring the hold-to-clear press; a software triggered or restored E-Stop needs the switch cycled. The active state is persisted on every change and restored on boot, and jsonconfig import never changes it. Switch type is configured over serial (estop latching), as the portal does not expose E-Stop settings.

Walkthrough

The E-Stop configuration now supports latching switches, with board defaults, persistent settings, state-machine behavior, manager controls, and serial commands. Three GitHub workflows also update their pinned release-tool version.

Changes: E-Stop latching support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Board default and descriptor flag
components/common/include/BoardDescriptor.h, scripts/utils/boards.py, scripts/tests/test_stamp_board.py, test/host_support/*
Board fragments now recognize OPENSHOCK_ESTOP_LATCHING, defaulting to false. The flag is added to board descriptors, and board-stamping tests cover the default and enabled setting.
E-Stop configuration and persistence
components/device_control/include/estop/EStopConfig.h, components/device_control/src/estop/EStopConfig.cpp, components/config/host_test/main/*
EStopConfig adds a latching value and accessors. NVS and JSON load and save the value, using the board default when it is absent. Config tests check the value and its preservation when the GPIO is invalid.
Latching state-machine behavior
components/device_control/src/estop/EStopStateMachine.h, components/device_control/host_test/main/test_estop_state_machine.cpp
The state machine supports latching and momentary modes. In latching mode, clearing requires switch engagement followed by debounced release. Tests cover clearing, software triggers, rearm grace, and the default mode.
Manager and serial-command integration
components/device_control/include/estop/EStopManager.h, components/device_control/src/EStopManager.cpp, components/serial_console/src/command_handlers/estop.cpp, .changes/estop-latching-switch.md
The manager passes the configured mode to the state machine and applies and saves setting changes. Serial commands report or set the mode. The release note describes the switch behavior, configuration, and portal limitation.

Release-tool version update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow action pins
.github/workflows/check-changes.yml, .github/workflows/ci-build.yml, .github/workflows/release.yml
The three workflows now pin OpenShock/release-tool to the v1.1.0 commit. The workflow inputs remain unchanged.

Suggested labels: type: enhancement

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 0190b

Latching support has unresolved edge cases where configuration failures or concurrent updates can change which switch or clearing policy applies. Address these and report the effective switch type accurately before merging, unless these bounded risks are explicitly accepted.

🟡 Changes recommended

The mode transition can let a button release clear an active E-Stop without the required hold, and a failed config save can cause retries to falsely report success without persisting the change.

Review effort: Balanced

… and always save it

A press or software trigger landing while the task stops now keeps the old switch type, so the new one can't clear it without the old type's clearing.
The switch type is saved even when the running one matches, so a retry after a failed save writes it.

Save the pin when it already matches the running pin.

SetEStopPin returns true before saving when the requested pin equals s_estopPin. If an earlier Config::SetEStopGpioPin call failed, a retry with the same pin reports success. Flash keeps the old pin, and the next boot samples it. Save on this path too, as SetEStopLatching does.

Suggested fix

   if (s_estopPin == pin) {
-    return true;
+    return Config::SetEStopGpioPin(pin);
   }

Update SetEStopPin so the path where the requested pin matches s_estopPin still

success without saving. Preserve the existing behavior for pins that differ.

Pin the latching bit value in the Python stamping test.

test_fragment_sets_the_estop_latching_flag compares spec.flags with boards.FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING. spec.flags is built from that same constant. A change to the constant would still pass this test. The firmware reads OPENSHOCK_BOARD_FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING (bit 1) from the stamped descriptor, so the two sides would diverge without a failure. The current values match. Add a literal check against the bit that BoardDescriptor.h defines.

Suggested fix

     assert spec.estop_latching is True
     assert spec.flags == boards.FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING
+    assert boards.FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING == 1 << 1  # OPENSHOCK_BOARD_FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING in BoardDescriptor.h

Add tests for a board-derived latching default.

The assertion at components/config/host_test/main/test_defaults.cpp:59 checks only the host board, where OPENSHOCK_ESTOP_LATCHING is 0. No host test sets the latching board flag, so no test reaches the true branch of defaultLatching(). A defaultLatching() that always returns false still passes the suite.

The board default applies in three places: the default constructor, a missing latching NVS key, and a missing latching JSON field. Add tests for these paths. Covering them requires a way to set OPENSHOCK_BOARD_FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING in the test build, because the host descriptor is a compile-time constinit const value.

Add coverage for both outcomes of defaultLatching() across the default
constructor, missing NVS latching key, and missing JSON latching field. Since
the host descriptor is constinit const, establish a test-build mechanism to
enable OPENSHOCK_BOARD_FLAG_ESTOP_LATCHING and verify each path uses the
board-derived true default, while retaining coverage for the false default.

Review comments at @components/device_control/src/estop/EStopConfig.cpp:
- Around line 67-69: Update EStopConfig::LoadNvs so an unreadable latching entry
does not return false and cause Section::Load to replace the entire E-Stop
section; explicitly select the latching fallback while preserving the stored
GPIO and enabled settings.
- Line 98: Update EStopConfig::SaveNvs so enabled and latching are persisted
atomically as one NVS entry, or use a commit marker that boot-time loading
validates before accepting either value. Preserve the existing GPIO persistence
and ensure reboot cannot apply an enabled state with a stale switch type after
an interrupted write.

Review comments at @components/device_control/src/EStopManager.cpp:
- Line 65: Update SetEStopPin to recheck IsEStopped() after stopping the
sampling task and before assigning s_estopPin; if activation occurred during the
stop, keep the old pin and restore the prior monitoring behavior without
weakening existing EStop safeguards. Preserve the normal pin-change path when no
activation occurred.
- Around line 346-349: Close the race in the switch to latching mode: a trigger
can set s_externallyTriggered in SoftwareTrigger after the second IsEStopped
check but before s_estopLatching is updated. Establish synchronization across
the trigger state and switch-type installation so a trigger in that interval
cannot be missed; account for SoftwareTrigger setting the flag before acquiring
s_estopMutex, and preserve the existing stop checks and task-restart behavior.
- Around line 370-372: Expose the applied E-Stop switch type separately from the
persisted value, and update the serial getter to report the type actually
running after estopmgr_applyLatching. Keep Config::GetEStopLatching as the
saved-value accessor; do not roll back the applied type when
Config::SetEStopLatching fails.
