So the proper thing is “sudo shutdown now –h”  ?

Shorting out pins on the processor due to improper power sequencing. When you 
pull the power, the PMIC cannot turn off th rails in the proper order because 
it runs out of power.

Hello,

 

I got a new batch of BBBs from Circuitco.

 

Amazingly they now come with a warning sticker on the Ethernet connector and a 
warning in the package to NOT to power off the board by unplugging the power 
supply because that could cause some damage.

 

So my question: what kind of damage is meant here? Is it some damage on the 
used Linux installation or do we really talk about some hardware damage? If 
hardware: what could be damaged by powering the board off?

 

Thanks!
