How to correctly power down BeagleBoard-xM ?

[Jani]

I have my BeagleBoard-xM connected to Windows 10 Laptop.  They are communicating over serial console.

I logged out and closed serial console.

How should I correctly power down my board?

[Robert Heller]

*Before* you logout, run this command:

sudo /sbin/halt

This will cleanly shut the BeagleBoard down.

Interesting. I thought shutdown command was the way to do it.

/sbin/halt === /sbin/shutdown -h now
/sbin/reboot === /sbin/shutdown -r now

/sbin/halt and /sbin/reboot are "shortcuts" for common shutdown cases.

Feel free to type all of '/sbin/shutdown -h now' if you prefer...

How to proceed from here?  LED D5 and D14 are still ON.

Do I just close the PC Console terminal?

I used to use "sudo halt", but I found that using "sudo poweroff" completely switches off the board, even the leds. I don't know why it is different, but the poweroff command seems to tell the PMU to cut the power line, and "halt" does only a software power off.

Best regards.

I usually use 'shutdown -h now'

But not blinking, right? You can now "pull the plug" (disconnect the power).

Sure.

Just type:

“Sudo shutdown now”

“Sudo reboot” reboots the system. 

If the BB has a power button on it, you can just press that and it will properly shut down. 

It will power off the system.
