CrowPi L full hardware shutdown 64-bit Pi OS
Hi,
Its not a major problem, more a technical curiosity.
On Shutdown under the Crowpi modified OS the L shuts down correctly and turns off the power light.
Under Pi OS 64-bit it shuts down, turns the screen off, but the power light and fan do not turn off, even waiting a limit. As expected, the behavior is the same with a 4GB and 8GB Pi.
I2C is turned on as I have the battery icon enabled.
What do I need to add to the shutdown sequence fully turn off the L when running Pi OS (64-bit)?
Thanks,
Jason.

Hello @jollypike ,
You need to add shutdown script to the Pi OS. Please find the shutdown.py at /usr/share/laptop/.user in CrowPi L OS.
Hello @jollypike ,
Is there a CrowPi-L sticky note area (besides the FAQ)? This, article, as well as Battery Monitor, GPIO pins in use messages, and such, probably needs to be pinned somewhere obvious. It's truly good info.
Well, I'm obviously missing something here. I've used this before, but on my latest build, I get to step four, and get an error message, claiming Unit service not found, or something similar. I ran a systemctl daemon-reload, no help. Fiddled with file locations and file security, no help. Has anybody else run into systemctl ignoring .service files?
Thanks,
Chris
Before running step 4, please run systemctl daemon-reload to refresh the service file list, otherwise systemctl will not find the newly added rcshutdown.service
Hi
I don’t have the folders listed above to copy the files into! How do I change this for the correct folders on Ubuntu 20.04 please
The CrowPi L now supports full hardware shutdown on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, enhancing power management and user experience. A great update for Pi enthusiasts! 🔄🔋
This issue is likely due to the CrowPi OS handling power management differently. Try adding
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
to/boot/config.txt
or runningsudo shutdown -h now
.Also, check if a firmware update resolves the issue.If you're encountering issues with the CrowPi L not fully shutting down when running the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, it's likely due to the differences in power management between CrowPi OS and Pi OS. The Pi OS shuts down the screen, but the power light and fan remain active.
To fully shut down the CrowPi L with the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, you'll need to add a shutdown script. A common solution is to modify the shutdown sequence by adding a custom script or using
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
in the/boot/config.txt
file. Additionally, you can try the commandsudo shutdown -h now
for a more immediate shutdown (CrowPi L full hardware shutdown 64-bit Pi OS — ELECROW - FORUM) (CrowPi-L FAQs — ELECROW - FORUM).For further assistance or if you're using different OS versions, you may also want to explore resources on modifying service files and using GPIO for better power management.
