After reading this list and experimenting with my board, two
questions regarding use of the ts-7000 as an embedded machine...
1. autologins. How can I provide an auto-login for the case where I
do not have a connection to a serial monitor and keyboard. I would
like the system to boot at powerup, login, and begin execution of my
applications/scripts automatically with no user input.
2. Power shutdowns and file corruption. In reading the list, it
appears that filesystem corruption is a common problem after power
cycling. My current application centers around data logging with just
the keypad and lcd interface for a minimal interface. The system
should not require user interaction to boot and run from powerup, and
ideally shut down gracefully upon power removal. Datalogging to
either comnpact flash, or more ideally USB memory stick is required
to allow easy removal of media and copy to windows machines (this
means vfat fs).
Can anyone recommend a best practice in this scenario to minimize
risk of filesystem corruption?
One thought is to implement a delay timer to leave the ts7000 powered
for long enough to shut down gracefully but what is the preferred
shutdown sequence to minimize risk of filesystem corruption? Is
poweroff the right solution?
