Dear all,
I have a problem quite similar to this one:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/qw5zlS4F4p4
This is my setup:
a) a bleaglebone black with 5V on pin VDD_5V
b) a C program doing a shutdown when the power button is pressed.
I have the C program in my rc.local in such a way to have it running in background.
If I have no ethernet cable connected and I try to push the power button, the beaglebone black goes down, the power led switches off but after 1 second the power led goes blue again and the beaglebone black restarts (1 second is often mentioned in the TPS65217 datasheet).
If I have the ethernet cable connected and I try to push the power button, the beaglebone black goes down, the power led switches off and it does not start again.
If I try to power the bleaglebone black by using the jack (and not using the VDD_5V pins), the beaglebone black does not start again (with or without ethernet cable).
My beaglebone black should be a Rev.B.
Any idea about this strange behaviour?
Cheers.
Alberto
