Hello.

I have a Beaglebone Rev A5 running a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-psp7 armv7l) distribution. When I halt the system with “sudo halt”, this led (user led0) keeps beating, Is there any way to switch off this led?

thanks

Hello.

Hi Juan,

I have a Beaglebone Rev A5 running a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux
3.2.0-psp7 armv7l) distribution. When I halt the system with "sudo halt",
this led (user led0) keeps beating, Is there any way to switch off this
led?

This was fixed in psp8 for ubuntu/debian back on May 7, 2012 when i
merged Koen's patchset into mine...

If you'd like to upgrade to the latest just run, on your Bone:

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/precise-armhf/v3.2.21-psp17/install-me.sh
/bin/bash install-me.sh

Regards,
