There is a bit that you can set in the Actel Fusion that's supposed to enable
this functionality. We use it on KAT-7, but some have reported that it's not
entirely reliable (sometimes the ROACH doesn't actually start).
use the roach_monitor.py script to connect to your Xport.
=====================================
ROACH MONITOR CONTROL
=====================================
1) Retrieve details
2) Reset crashlog counter
3) Power-up ROACH
4) Reset ROACH, but not Actel
5) Toggle safety-shutdown defeat
6) Power down ROACH
7) Toggle PPC EEPROM boot (config H)
8) Toggle auto power-on after hard-reset.
other) Exit
You want option 8.
