[S905x3] VONTAR X3 Can’t completely power off

[igor469]

Hi!
Started using two boxes VONTAR X3 with Android 9.
CE 19.2rc3 installed on internal eMMC in dual boot mode.
Found one problem.
When I turn off my box from CE, it does not turn off completely, unlike shutdown in Android.
It seems like it will turn off at first, but immediately switch to sleep mode.
I can see it on the LED indicators and power consumption.

I have tried a variety of shutdown methods

• standard menu CE
• poweroff -p
• shutdown now -h
• systemctl poweroff

A similar problem has already been considered here, but no solution has been found.

[S912] Can't completely power off my box

You can try to disconnect your HDD …

Coreelec doesnt shutdown Minix U1 completely like Andoird does

When i power down my Minix U1 via Coreelec (sd card) the led turns green (stand by mode) and power consumption is ~0,8 watt. When i power down via android the led turns completely off and power consumption is ~0,3 watt.

So, I want to ask - what is the difference between shutdown method in CE and Android?
Thanks!

CoreELEC BL301 Wake-Up feature [inject_bl301]

BL301.BIN Injection Some Amlogic devices do have problems with wake-up from suspend/power off by IR remote, CEC or WOL, this is related to a poorly configured bootloader.

What is the purpose of this tool: If you own an Amlogic device that have issues with wake-up features like IR remote wake-up, CEC or WOL wake-up then you can use …

And no box will ever completely power off as something needs to be on as you can not wake it by CEC or IR as example.

Yes, after turning off from Android, box wake only from IR.
But there is generally sleep mode. A completely different state of box.
