Boot after shutdown without power cycle

Post by saardrimer »

Hello

Is it possible to boot up the RevPi without a complete power cycle, but through a a digital signal?

Scenario: user shutdowns the RevPi like this:

https://revolutionpi.com/shutting-down-the-revpi/

but needs to boot up the RevPi with a (push)button rather than a power cycling the entire system that shares the RevPi power.

Thanks,
Saar.

Hi Saar,

you could use a push button equiped with an opener contact for this. The opener contact must be placed between your PSU VCC and your RevPi VCC. With this solution the power is interrupted when you press the button and comes back when you release the button (works like a reset).
