Raspberry Pi B+ doesn't turn off

[alex27riva]

Hi, i have a Raspberry Pi B+, with the command "sudo halt" via SSH, my PI shut down, but after a few seconds it restarts...
how can I turn off my PI properly without unplugging the power supply?
Thanks

I believe rpi-update will fix that.

I believe rpi-update will fix that.

It's a command "built in" or I have to download some files?

Depends on how you installed your OS. Just try running 'sudo rpi-update' and if it's not there, we can go about installing it.

[_abo_]

sudo shutdown -h 0

sudo shutdown -h now

its a built in command.

from the command-line simply give the command:

Code: Select all

sudo rpi-update

and the pi will download and install the latest pi-specific updates.

sudo shutdown -h 0

sudo shutdown -h now

+1

sudo shutdown -h now

I regularly run on Raspbian Wheezy

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo rpi-update
sudo reboot

Thank you, now "sudo halt" works!
But "rpi-update" upgrades the firmware on sd card or the firmware in the usb/ ethernet chip of the pi?

On the micro-SD card, so if you have more than one card, you may want to boot that and update it too.

That will only update the firmware in the SD Card residing in the Bootloader Partition (unlike "standard" PC's the Pi has no BIOS Chip, so those functions are in the software)

To be on the safe side, you ought to do a 'sudo reboot' between running apt-get and rpi-update. On the off-chance that apt-get installs a new kernel, rpi-update will 'break' if you don't reboot (to activate the new kernel) first.

The LAN9512/4 chip has no built in firmware.
