From the INI docs:
HOME_USE_INDEX = NO - If the encoder used for this axis has an index pulse, and the motion card has provision for this signal you may set it to yes. When it is yes, it will affect the kind of home pattern used. Currently, you can’t home to index with steppers unless you’re using stepgen in velocity mode and PID.
Is index homing for steppers being developed? I'm using my DMM drives in stepper mode as I never got the pid right in velocity mode. I'd still like to use the index for precision homing.

Try it.
The homing code doesn't actually know that you are using position-mode steppers.
