Re: [beagleboard] Powering down a Beaglebone black that is being powered from a LiPo battery

2015-04-15 Thread Gerald Coley
The SW has to support the power down based on the pushing of the switch.

 Hi,

 Working a beaglebone black that I am trying to power both with a wall wart
 and with LiPo battery thru the TPS functionality.  I have all the power
 working well except that I cannot get the damn thing to power down from the
 power switch on the board.  Holding the switch down for 8 seconds causes
 the thing to power down momentarily but then it power back up.  Any idea
 how to work around this?

 One piece of information I found with respect to this issue was on this
 forum where someone said:

 ...
 Regarding the lithium battery pack idea, it's a good one


 *except for one little issue with the bone where a rework is required in
 order to power down into TPS65217 OFF or SLEEP modes when a battery is
 connected due to SYS voltage staying present and the way 3.3V_EXP is
 generated.* So
 long as you don't want to power off with the battery still connected
 there's no issue, though.

 Anyone know what this workaround is or where I could find info on it?

 Cheers!

 MMP
