Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65217
Tool/software: Linux
Hi,
I was wondering about the functionality of reboot, how exactly it works.
Because as per my understanding it does the shutdown only with some macro set to RESTART or something similar, which somehow triggers to start the power up sequence.
So, what exactly here gets triggered to start the power up sequence, as I see now, you can control the nRESET pin of the PMIC TPS65217 to turn ON the board after 1 second. If that's true, are there any other alternatives to this approach ? Maybe without using nRESET pin of the PMIC.
For the better understanding of the use case,
- I am using a custom AM335x based board and I am not using nRESET of TPS65217 at all.
- I am not able to reboot the board, it just powers it off and then it won't start the power up sequence.
- I am not trying to control the power OFF via Button, but from the terminal I am issuing a reboot command. (not using gpio-poweroff)
