I decided to look into this, and to an extent LinuxCNC already does this, but only if you have a random toolchanger.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...sk/ioControl.cc#L780
It doesn't look like iocontrol is responsible for updating the #5400 parameter, though.
However, if you add #5400 to the .var file then it does get saved. It is just that LinuxCNC then sets it back to zero on startup.
So, it might not take that much to make it work.

Are there any news for implementing spindle tool memory? I implement no random toolchanger, just need to remember the tool after restart
RANDOM_POSITION_TOOLCHANGER = 1
this remember tool but put it randomly in pocket, can someone think option to connect pocket and tools to be same number...

Hello.
The random tool changer works, remembers the last tool (after adding the 5400 variable in the .var file).
One question is left.
How to put the tool in spindle in an empty pocket? (if needed)
T0 M6 - not helps. (as usually in manual tool change)
In the tool table there is no T0 P0 line...
Helped:
Added In the tool table the T0 P0 line
Changed the toolchange.ngc
O100 IF [#<selected_tool> GT 0]
to
O100 IF [#<selected_tool> GE 0]
