Very true. So I guess even just using a li-po or li-ion on the bone would
be much easier.

 Not sure if I did my math right, but for 2 seconds at 2W (beaglebone will
 be booting), and assuming his 24V to 5V regulator can regulate with an
 input voltage all the way down to 12V, that's around 20mF. I guess that's
 doable with $$$.

 It wouldn't be as simple as connecting the cap to the accessories line,
 since this would absolutely destroy your relay contacts from the inrush in
 charging this gigantic cap from 0V. And, you would have to throw a diode in
 so you didn't power *all* of your accessories with this cap.

 24V power supply in a car? If this means you're this from the
 accessories circuit, you're doomed. Accessories are turned off while the
 car is being started, and a cap won't be enough to power the beaglebone,
 since they stay off as long as you're turning the engine. Another problem
 is, you'll corrupt the filesystem with an out-of-the-box beaglebone. You'll
 *have to* use a read only file system.

 You could tie the beaglebone directly to the battery (with a fuse of
 course) and use some circuit to monitor when to turn it on and off.

Re: [beagleboard] beagleboneblack don't restart after power fluctuation.

2013-11-05 Thread Wilfredo Nieves
The reason it powers off is because your ignition switch is not providing
constant power when you turn the key to start. I would try to find a power
source that has power when key is set to on and start.

2013-11-05 Thread Wilfredo Nieves
Cap = capacitor. Just make sure that it is the right size for where you put
it in your circuit. If it is too small i can explode and possibly start a
fire. In your original post you stated that you have a 24V to 5V step down,
so if you place it before the step down make sure it is at least rated for
24V or if you place it after it has to be at least 5V. You may also
consider a voltage monitor circuit to safely power down your BBB to avoid
corrupting the file system.
