I've read what documentation I could find about powering down the BBB. Clearly shutdown -now in a ssh session is safe. Clearly pulling the power is not.
Pushing the power button momentarily does nothing. Documentation says that "software is needed to sense and respond" to this action. I presume this means that said software is not part of the Angstrom distribution that shipped (before the switch to Debian). Pushing and holding the power button does cause a power down. Question1: Is push-and hold of the power button a safe shutdown method, or is it similar to just pulling the plug? Question2: If push-and-hold is not safe, has anyone (and distro) developed the software necessary to sense a button push and initiate a safe power down? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
