hardware reset of the Pi one board? 

So you have a device, that comes with zero (0) storage /memory option and you ask "how to reset".

This is funny, right ?

Hello!

 

Does anyone know how make hardware reset of the Pi one board? :wacko:

maybe you can restate your question. what problem are you trying to solve?

 

Tapatalk thinks its important to tell you im using tapatalk from a phone.

Check schematics: On sheet 6 a Reset Option is described. AFAIK the only H3 board implementing a reset button is Nano Pi M1.

 

BTW: Powercycling any H3 Orange Pi is also somewhat challenging since both USB-UART adapters as well as eg. a PC connected to the Micro USB port will power the board and simply switching DC-IN off and on again after a few seconds does either do nothing or leaves the board in an unpredictable state (very annoying when testing FEL boot a few months ago).

 

Maybe you should ask in linux-sunxi IRC, IIRC a few devs soldered reset buttons/switches to H3 boards but maybe that was A64/Pine64 instead (suffers from the same backpowering troubles)

Yes, the problem is that a simple switching off the power is not quite stable restarts the board.

And the more the problem worsens if the board is powered up with 2 points.

I saw schematic and understand that RESET part is optional, which means physically not wired.

But I can't connect directly to ap-reset point because it is not reachable on that board.

I need stable reset to make external watchdog. But i didn't find the way how.

 

Sorry for my bad english... :(

Did you think that if the device came with zero storage/memory, that don't need reset? I think it is not right... 

Reset not means erase. Isn't it?

 

I'm sorry if my question was not clear.   :unsure:

Your question was absolutely clear -- no worries.

 

I don't know much about electrics so no idea how to add a reset switch on the Oranges. Better go with NanoPi M1 if you really need an easily accessible hardware reset.

 

When I was testing FEL boot (requires a reset after each try) I tested with 2 Orange Pi PC that were connected via DC-IN to a PSU, via Micro USB to my build host FEL booting the Oranges and via serial console to an A20 board. I had to use a powered USB hub between build host and the Oranges since the following was necessary to realibly power-cycle the 2 boards:

  • switching off the 2 sockets of the programmable power switch the PSUs were connected to (see example)
  • switching off the socket where the USB hub's PSU was connected to
  • telling the A20 board to switch off 5V USB voltage for each USB-UART adapter.

Only then an absolute reliable restart was possible (taking 10 seconds). BTW: With our current legacy kernel there exists a software watchdog too: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1519&highlight=reset

 

(but when I was testing undervolting H3 boards a few weeks ago I found this to not be reliable -- the daemon writing to /dev/watchdog was still working while the system itself became unstable)

Thanks for your answer! I use watchdog but there are some nuances:

1. The maximum delay time is not longer than 16 sec.;

2. If the device hangs during boot or shutdown (sometimes though not often) that the watchdog will not help....

 

Third-party device could resolve this problem, but there is no hardware reset.  :wacko:

Thank you very much! Now I know where the reset circuit!

If you are comfortable with soldering wires to components of this size, connecting a button parallel to C301 should give you a hardware reset option. I would recommend using wires as short as possible to avoid receiving power spikes and other radio noise.

p.s. short circuit of C301 is not working (I don't know why)... :huh:

As @zador said, a button in parallel with C301, it means that VCC should be applied to C301, not a short with GND.

Anyway, if a GND is applied on Q9 collector, it is good too.

Yes, I understand about button, As I say shutting the capacitor (that means shut to VCC as on scheme) not to GND, is not working...

I was about to open a new thread makig the same question as OP but for the OPI PC. It was nice to find this first.

Fortunately the OPI PC is similar to the One.

I have no idea why technik007_cz and Tido were acting like that. It's very handy to be able to hardware reset the board. I have a raspi running headless 24/7 and an arduino connected to it, pinging it periodically through the GPIO. If for some reason the raspi freezes and stops responding for a while, the arduino resets it.

I intend to do the same with the OPI PC.

Besides the reset button which is manual, Has anyone resolved the watchdog issue solution I get this crash when oprangepi zero is on for a few days. My feeling is that the xradio drivers are messing the kernel up. I am trying to enable watchdog and build a process that resets watch if the kernel/filesystem is healthy. If not than watchdog should reboot orangepi z and start it fresh.

Hi,

 

Same question for Orange PI zero, can I make that ?

Is there any danger if I press the reset button during a long time ?

 

Thank you !
