Thanks for the help, now working perfectly..

I put the following in keyboard.xml in the keymap folder...

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <key id="61662">Shutdown</key>
    </keyboard>
</global>

Now it shuts down. Also, with the config settings I placed in the earlier post, GPIO5 goes low once shutdown is complete.

Works perfect. Thanks for all the help!

It looks like all gpio-shutdown does is send the keystoke "KEY_POWER" to Kodi - which is what you are seeing with the shutdown menu. So it looks like the remapping is the best solution.

gpio-poweroff doesn't seem to be implemented (yet).

Wierd really, as its currently doing what I want it to (I have it set to pull GPIO5 high when its running, and low when shutdown is complete). Below is what I have in my config.txt

Code

#Overlay for GPIO Shutdown
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=26
dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,gpiopin=5,active_low=1

I will give the keyboard mapping a go, and if that doesn't yield the desired result I will try the script you have linked above. I have an arduino handling this externally, so it will (eventually) shut down after the ignition key being off for 10 minutes - which is long enough for one of my fuel station visits.

Thanks for the pointers so far. Very helpful. I will post back with my results.

Cheers

HI,

Thanks for the replies. I thought I needed the poweroff overlay also, as this pin stays high whilst the RPi is running and then goes low on shutdown - I use this to switch power off once the RPI has shutdown.

I will give the keyboard.xml modification a try and see if that works.

Thanks for the help so far, this is the last niggle I need to sort before I can install it in the vehicle.

Hi All,

I am looking to use a Raspberry Pi3B+ in my car. I have designed and built a circuit that handles the power management and am using gpio-shutdown and gpio-poweroff dtoverlays, which seem to be doing what they are supposed to (they are now included in the LE9 test builds) , other than one thing...

When I use the gpio that I have assigned to shutdown, I get the shutdown dialog come up. Usually this would be fine, but I want it to actually shutdown, not prompt to ask me to do it.

I assume basically what I am wanting to do is to actually shutdown on a single keypress. is this something that can be done easily - Its probably more of a Kodi question rather than Libreelec but thought I would try here first.

Thanks

Thanks for the great work above, justt a quick question though..

How easy would it be to apply the patches to an AMD64 based system running 4.9 kernel? My openmediavault server runs the 4.9 BPO kernel and im dying to get both the DVBC tuners running sucessfully.

Thanks
