Power Off and Wake Up using GPIO Key Button

This section describes how to set up GPIO key button for power off and wake up purpose.

The brief set-up flow is as following.

Connect a tab button to the pin port you want to use
Set GPIO number using boot.ini
Compiling and flash the modified kernel dts : This part is only needed on ANDROID.

1. Hardware Set-Up

First, You need to prepare a tab switch that are connected to two lines.
Red line is for Power Button and another Gray line is for the active level line (Ground or 3.3V Power).

For example, we will use Pin#29 of 40pin expansion connector.

The pin is assigned to GPIOX.BIT0 and its GPIO number is #228.
Connect the red line to Pin#29.

Its default pin pulled status is high and switch active will be Low, so you should connect the gray line of tab switch to Ground (GND), Pin#30.

Pin Number (Red Line)	GPIO Number	Active Level (Gray Line)
29	GPIO#228	Active Low (Pin 30)

2. Available Keys

Here are the available key examples using 40-pin connector and 7-pin connector.
You can find the pin assign examples for Red Line and Gray Line.

Setting Power Button Action for Power Off

Ubuntu

When you turn the board off using power button, you need to change power key action pattern.

- Open Power Management Preferences : [System] → [Preferences] → [Hardware] → [Power Management]
- and then Select [General] tab

Android

In case of Android, one short power key event is used for sleep and with long key event, you can handle options of power off/reboot.
With Android Marshmallow v2.4 or higher version, it's available to enter power off sequence using long-pressing (5 sec).
