Hello!

Just a question about the power button at the SATA HAT: how does it work? Is it like a hard shut off?

I guess, if i want to power down the NanoPi M4 there are some things to do: close processes, clean write cache and so on - a regular shut down will take some time before powering off.

I've already tried to read the logs but there are no entries about the shut down.

Any hints?

It will gently shut down the Raspberry Pi's Linux operating system when pressed. This guarantees that caches and data are correctly flushed to prevent SD card corruptiongeometry dash lite. It thus starts a software shutdown process rather than a real power outage.
