Hi,
Given that the 5b has a power button built in, is there any support to short one of the GPIO pins to turn on the computer after it has been shutdown? (Or some other way to achieve the same thing?) I’m wanting to attach an external power button to the GPIO and have it act just as the power button on the board.
Any help on how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated!
From my understanding the pin-out on the GPIO is the same as the Pi 4.
It’s possible to add an external button to the Pi 4 so the same method should work here as well.
I’m currently waiting for parts so I cannot test this method yet.
I’m also interested in this.
For this to work there should be hardware and software (u-boot I guess) support.
Maybe @jack could clarify about external gpio wake up support?
Hi @QuessGamer! Did you got any progress on this?
@jack, is there some way to turn on/wake up the board by any of the provided on the gpio header pins or should I solder a wire to the power button?
My idea is to turn off the board on power loss (it is backed up by a battery, there’s no problem: just poll a gpio and issue the poweroff command on level change) and to turn it on back when the power comes up (that is a hard part).
