RioTboard dead after reset

jm.gomez

I have just received my brand new RioTboard. I just connected it to the screen, mouse, keyboard and power supply. Everything worked. I just wanted to stop it, but there is no power down button, so I checked the reset one. The RioTboard just died. I have tried many things and always two LEDs are lighted an after some seconds, only one remains, and nothing appears on the screen. Can someone give some help?

 

     Thanks in advance,

  • This is just a SWAG as I haven't studied the RIoTboard in detail, but with most Linux systems you must be careful how you turn them off.  Specifically, you must synchronize the file system or it may be in an inconsistent state when you turn the power off or press the reset button.  This is certainly true of Raspberry Pi.

     

    If this is what happened, it's probably easiest to reload the operating system image.  To prevent it from happening again, see if there's a "shutdown" command in whatever OS you're using.  The usual Unix command is "shutdown -h now".  A GUI OS usually has a shutdown command somewhere in the menu system.
