Jumpstart Jetson TX2 Dev Kit w/ Pi 3

[j-automotus]

Hi there,

I'm building a system that will be used remotely and one of the requirements is for our Pi 3 to be able to turn on our Nvidia Jetson TX2 dev kit in the event that it shuts down. We're currently shorting power pins on the Jetson and it works fine on the jetson's end, but we are having a hard time getting any of the pins on our RPi 3 to switch a transistor (http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet- ... 123AP.html) we're using off, so that we can only short the power pins on the Jetson as needed from the GPIO on the Pi when it doesn't receive a ping from the jetson.

Any suggestions or roadmap would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't understand.

When you say " shorting power pins" do you really mean connecting the positive supply directly to the ground? Sounds like a really bad idea.

The datasheet you linked to is not for a transistor. It's for an integrated circuit for "charge control, monitoring for 2, 3, 4 or 5 series Supercapacitors"

I suspect your simplest solution might be a relay module. http://www.instructables.com/id/Control ... Pi-and-a-/
