I have my BeagleBoard-xM connected to Windows 10 Laptop. They are communicating over serial console.
I logged out and closed serial console.
How should I correctly power down my board?

*Before* you logout, run this command:
sudo /sbin/halt
This will cleanly shut the BeagleBoard down.
Interesting. I thought shutdown command was the way to do it.

/sbin/halt === /sbin/shutdown -h now
/sbin/reboot === /sbin/shutdown -r now
/sbin/halt and /sbin/reboot are "shortcuts" for common shutdown cases.
Feel free to type all of '/sbin/shutdown -h now' if you prefer...
How to proceed from here? LED D5 and D14 are still ON.
Do I just close the PC Console terminal?
I used to use “sudo halt”, but I found that using “sudo poweroff” completely switches off the board, even the leds. I don’t know why it is different, but the poweroff command seems to tell the PMU to cut the power line, and “halt” does only a software power off.
Best regards.
I usually use ‘shutdown -h now’

But not blinking, right? You can now "pull the plug" (disconnect the power).

Sure.
Just type:
“Sudo shutdown now”
“Sudo reboot” reboots the system.
If the BB has a power button on it, you can just press that and it will properly shut down.
It will power off the system.
LEDs are still ON
