PocketBeagle wake from external RTC

[js1970th...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I have a PocketBeagle project that I hope to run from battery.  To extend battery life, I would like it to power down completely, then be wakened by an external RTC every few hours.

I thought about waking the PocketBeagle by tying the alarm pin of the RTC to the "PB" (PushButton) pin on the PB.  This initiates the power-up!  But the TPS65217 PMIC will power the board back down if the "button" is asserted for more than 8 seconds.

Is there a way to disable the "8 second" rule?  Or another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

  John
