I’m working with the Nvidia Jetson Xavier AGX dev kit.
When I issue in linux the command:
shutdown -h now
I would expect the device to stay halted. Not sure if it should also power off. But instead it comes back up shortly.
Basically wondering where I need to look and what to configure to get it to power off and stay off via a software command.
I have basic knowledge of linux shutdown and ACPI but missing some pieces.
hello jonathan.kehler,
you may use --help commands to enable option descriptions.
for example,
nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ sudo shutdown --help
shutdown [OPTIONS...] [TIME] [WALL...]
Shut down the system.
--help Show this help
-H --halt Halt the machine
-P --poweroff Power-off the machine
-r --reboot Reboot the machine
-h Equivalent to --poweroff, overridden by --halt
-k Don't halt/power-off/reboot, just send warnings
--no-wall Don't send wall message before halt/power-off/reboot
-c Cancel a pending shutdown
Assuming you used “sudo” with the “shutdown -h now” it should stay off. Any kind of power off/on would possibly make some Jetson models turn on again, but the default for the Xavier AGX dev kit is to not auto turn on (the NX is a different story).
If for some reason the Xavier is turning and should not, then I’d get a serial console log starting from just before the “sudo shutdown -h now” is issued, and up to end of the reboot.
