Camera does not search in autonomous mode after reset

Sure, on large, complex systems with lots of resources you'd instrument the code or HDL to catch such cases. Instrumenting a very simple state machine that cannot (by inspection) have an invalid state, in a resource constrained system where code readability is of paramount importance, doesn't make sense to me. If the static state variable isn't getting initialized at boot time, a wonky state machine is the least of your worries .
