Hi all, I'm thinking of getting one of these cool boards, but I have a question I haven't found an answer to yet. Can the onboard arduino be powered while the Ryzen side of things is off/suspended? It would be fun to use the arduino side to power up the full system, or run lights while the main system is powered down. Anyone try this or know if it is doable? The docs for the Leonardo pinout label all power as OUT (clearly not in), so I assume that you can't power it through that interface. Thanks!
BOLT's built-in Arduino Leonardo is using BOLT's internal 5V power source thus cannot be separately powered (unless you doing the tiny 0403 SMD work and modifying the PCB <-- don't do it.)
Ok, thanks for the info. Quite disappointing news, to be honest. It would have been great to supply an external 5V to just it, or have an independent power path through the mainboard. A missed opportunity to have a low power device monitor things and then wake up the Ryzen to take care of business.
The Udoo X86 had the possibility to put the main CPU in sleep or let it awake. https://www.udoo.org/docs-x86II/Ard...l_Power_Management_From_Arduino_Leonardo.html So if you are really interested you could consider this board.
Thanks waltervl, I'll look into it. Thinking that an itx based board will work, depending on the power draw. cheers.
