did I see on the board it has a spot for a power and reset button?

Yes, the board has a power button which connects to the PMIC (Power-Management IC) and also can triggers certain events in an operating system. The second button is a Reset button. There are also to spots where you can solder two LEDs. One is a charger indication LED and the other is connected to a Pin on the A64 and you can control that from your software. The PMIC has an integrated, programmable battery charger that usually charges the battery if DC input voltage is available and no undervoltage/overvoltage/overcurrent/overtemperature faults are detected... once the OS has booted, the charger is also controlled by various pieces of software, like on a tablet or cellphone... see here for the LEDs: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1443&pid=13006#pid13006

Can you point me to some documentation for these OS events? Thanks!
