Hello, I saw the following on the Beagle Bone wiki page...
"Improper Power Down....All Revisions ... Based on the latest information we have gathered, this appears to be an instance where the PMIC does not power down the processor in the right order due to the violent removal of the power cables, either USB or DC. So, we are recommending that the power button be used to power off the board or by issuing the Halt command. After that you can remove the power cable. If everyone follows this process, we should see a decrease in these issues, but it will take a while for the results, either good or bad, to show up. This will also help prevent the contamination of the eMMC and the SD cards by allowing the kernel to shutdown properly before power is removed." I also saw in one post that Gerald noted this was thought to be an issue, but now has been dismissed. Can you confirm that this is still an issue or not. The reason that I ask is that we are having Beagle Bone Black failures in the field where they go dead and we are trying to nail down why. If this is still an issue would unplugging a power supply from the wall be considered "violent" removal of the power?
