The test that is being executed during the ISOBUS compliance is the
following: after an address has been claimed by a CF (#1), another CF
(#2) sends a  message (other than address-claim) using the same address
claimed by CF #1.

As per ISO11783-5 standard, if a CF receives a message, other than the
address-claimed message, which uses the CF's own SA, then the CF (#1):
- shall send the address-claim message to the Global address;
- shall activate a diagnostic trouble code with SPN = 2000+SA and FMI =
31

After the address-claim message is sent by CF #1, as per ISO11783-5
standard:
- If the name of the CF #1 has a lower priority then the one of the CF
#2, the the CF #2 shall send its address-claim message and thus the CF
#1 shall send the cannot-claim-address message or shall execute again
the claim procedure with a new address
- If the name of the CF #1 has higher priority then the of the CF #2,
then the CF #2 shall send the cannot-claim-address message or shall
execute the claim procedure with a new address

Above conflict management is OK with current J1939 driver
implementation, however, since the driver always waits 250ms after
sending an address-claim message, the CF #1 cannot set the DTC. The DM1
message which is expected to be sent each second (as per J1939-73
standard) may not be sent.

Honestly, I don't know which company is doing the ISOBUS compliance
tests on our products and which tool they use as it was choosen by our
customer, however they did send us some CAN traces of previously
performed tests and we noticed that the DM1 message is sent 160ms after
the address-claim message (but it may also be lower then that), and this
is something that we cannot do because the driver blocks the application
from sending it.

28405.349740 1  18FECAF0x    Rx   d 8 FF FF C0 08 1F 03 FF FF  //DM1

Since the 250ms wait is not explicitly stated, IMHO it should be up to
the user-space implementation to decide how to manage it.

Thank you,
