Powering Down Acorn

Post by linwood »

Im sure this is a nub question so i will start with my apologies. Sorry... I've been doing searches for a few hours on this forum and else where with no luck. Is there a way to control the power on/off switch on the Acorn board? There appears to be a switch on the Beagleboard green but it is underneath next to the eathernet plug (cant reach). I found some info on the beagleboard being controlled remotely with code...debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo shutdown -h now?
Im missing something. I see Beaglebone wants a notified shutdown? My old school ways feel bad unplugging this while its running. :roll:

No issues, simply power down Acorn Power supply.
Acorn was designed that way.
