The “Jetson TX2 OEM Product Design Guide” states the power on USB0_OTG_ID pin should stay above 2.9v for longer than 20ms because TX2 module needs 20ms to do a controlled shutdown. That basically means a big capacitor needs to be connected to the VDD_IN line. The capacitor needs to be hundreds uF or about 1000uF. That will occupy a large space on the carrier design. To avoid using a large capacitor, I have two groups of questions:
If VDD_IN cannot be kept long enough for TX2 to finish the controlled shutdown, what would be the effect exactly? Would it be just a Linux user filesystem corruption? Is there a way to repair from the corruption after the module comes back up?
When VIN_POWER_BAD# goes low, that triggers a controlled shutdown. In this controlled shutdown, which part/parts of the system is/are involved? Is that just the kernel part, or is it also other processors involved? Is there a way to modify the code so that the system can perform the controlled shutdown faster by throwing away some data that normally should be flushed?
Thanks.
