Shutdown and Reboot

The Walnut Pi runs an operating system, so unlike a typical microcontroller development board that simply shuts off when power is cut, it is recommended to use the Log Out function in the menu bar for shutdown or reboot in the pop-up dialog. This helps protect the circuit board and avoids sudden power loss, which could damage the operating system or cause data loss.

Shut Down for shutdown, Restart for reboot.

You can also shut down or reboot via commands:

• Shutdown

sudo poweroff

• Reboot

sudo reboot
