Topic is more hardware than software.
Does anyone have a clever way to tell XPe to do a normal shutdown when
Primary power is lost?
Example: Battery Power running to device all the time, Power from Ignition
Switch running to box. When Ignition is turned off, tell XPe to save
everything and gracefully power down. When Ignition is turned on, Xpe
reboots.
This seems pretty easy off the top of my head. Monitor a digital input and
have software tell XPe to shutdown. If XPe is sitting there stating "It's
okay to shutdown your computer" screen then that's not really a power down.
How would one power it back up and have XPe reboot.
Possibly a timer relay activated by Ignition switch? Ignition power
activates the main power relay and always keeps it going, but when Ignition
is cut off, the timer relay delays for a minute or two, then disconnects
main power?
Any other clever ideas?
