Shutdown and Restart

The WalnutPi runs an operating system. Unlike regular microcontroller boards that can simply be powered off, to protect the board, it is recommended to use the Log Out function in the menu bar and choose Shut Down or Restart from the dialog box. This avoids the risk of sudden power loss damaging the operating system or causing file loss.

Shut Down to power off, Restart to reboot.

You can also shut down or restart using commands:

• Shutdown

sudo poweroff

• Restart

sudo reboot
