Re: How to enable poweroff in D-LINK DSM-G600

[Charles Brown <obigiankenobi%gmail.com@localhost>]

Yes, it works fine for me.
Every "power off"command works (shutdown -p,halt -p and so on) , also pressing the power button for N seconds turns my unit off.
After doing this "via software" power off, I'm able to turn on the box using the power button.
Also, issuing (root user):

echo "ZWC" > /dev/satmgr

immediatly turns off the unit, giving me a wonderfull root file system check at first restart...

Yes, I can try to add the old "SYN\nSYN\n ", but I think that in my unit this statement will never be executed. :)

Quite strange that doesn't work in your box. Different microcontrollers?

I have done the test that you requested, but (obviously), the statement that sends "SYN\nSYN\n" in my box hasn't been executed.

Does it really work for you? I knew about the command, but on my DSM-G600
it didn't do anything.

Maybe we have different revisions (I remember that you also had a
different acardide(4) revision) of the PIC, or the PIC-software?

Does "ZWC" switch off immediately?

Can you test the following modification, which is intended to work
with both revisions? 

---8<---
static void

dpwroff(struct satmgr_softc *sc)
{

        send_sat(sc, "ZWC\n");

        /*
         * When this line is reached, then this board revision doesn't
         * support hardware-shutdown, so we flash the power LED
         * to indicate that the device can be switched off.
         */
        send_sat(sc, "SYN\nSYN\n");

        /* drops into default power-off handling (looping forever) */
}
