Note: There are three ways to initiate the shutdown :
1) sudo halt ( from the serial console )
2) click System Shutdown --> shutdown dialogue ( then click shutdown )
3) press and hold the power button momentarily --> shutdown dialogue ( then clcik shutdown )
As it turns out, (3) option above is the most reliable for a full power-down because not only the OS gets told to shutdown, but the ARISC PMIC expects the shutdown to come along; so the full power-down actually occurs !
