I just purchased a new Beaglebone Black RevC and I'm starting to experiment a bit. I'm seeing some strange behavior when trying to perform a graceful shutdown of the board. When connected through the micro USB shutdown works as expected. When an external power supply is used, and I'm connected through Ethernet, I can't get the board to shutdown properly.
Following are my two experimental cases: *Case 1 - Power through USB* 1. Start with all cables unplugged 2. Connect to laptop through micro USB 3. Lamp for 5V power turns on. 4. Beaglebone boots in about 30s 5. Push power button on Beaglebone 6. Beaglebone shuts down in about 6s 7. All LED's are off. *Case 2 - External power* 1. Start with all cables unplugged 2. Apply external 5V power. 3. Lamp for 5V power turns on. 4. Beaglebone boots in about 30s 5. Push power button on Beaglebone 6. Nothing happens! In each case, I also tried connecting through an SSH session. In both cases, pressing the power button is issuing a shutdown command. I also tried explicitly issuing a shutdown command through the SSH session (i.e. shutdown -h now). When powered through USB it works; when powered externally the shutdown doesn't occur. Any ideas or suggestions? Troy -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
