Read the reviews on alibaba and it seems the n100 doesn’t have a power on after power loss option? (Edit: the bios not the cpu)
Would like to pick one up but need it to auto reboot after power loss. Anyone have one to check if this is true?
- adrian_b 3y agoThis is a feature of the BIOS, not of the CPU. The only way to know for sure is from a review of the desired product, if someone happened to check the BIOS menu.
- amelius 3y agoPerhaps it supports Wake-on-LAN, and you can turn it on like that?
- Brybry 3y agoWeirdly I've found with some (x86/x64) machines that their Wake-on-LAN doesn't work after a power loss. But could probably use a similar idea to signal the power button with a pi or esp32?
- doubled112 3y agoI have a couple of Ryzen machines like that. They need a power button press to power on the NIC. As long as WoL is enabled everywhere, the NIC will stay on until they lose power again.
- hattmall 3y agoA switchbot might also be an option.
- kijin 3y agoYou don't even need to press a physical switch. Anything that can short a jumper on the motherboard would be enough.
- zh3 3y agoOn linux I find it's usually necessary to enable WoL on boot with 'ethtool -s eth0 wol g' (you can check the current state of all most wakeup stuff with 'cat /proc/acpi/wakeup').
- amelius 3y ago> But could probably use a similar idea to signal the power button with a pi or esp32? I thought of that but it's not worth it, since these N100 systems cost around $150. Perhaps a better solution is with a 555 timer, that turns on the machine when the led goes off.
- mjg59 3y agoEnabling power on after power loss is "just" writing a register value to the chipset, so it's viable to have Linux do that during boot.
