Hi,
I did a quick search of the forum but didn't find anything that touched directly on this topic, but if I missed it, point me to the existing posts.
I know the Pine64 has a built-in battery charging circuit and if I read the specs correctly, should be able to run off the battery, at least for a short amount of time. I'm looking at developing a system where occasionally the power will flicker, and I want to have battery backup to keep it running through the bumps but if the power shuts down for longer than a certain amount of time I'd like to shut the unit down cleanly, and then when power is restored boot back up again. For the Raspberry Pi, modmypi sells a little integrated UPS unit that about does what I want. Could something similar be set up for the Pine64? At the moment I'm just looking at the options and the Pine64 is a very attractive.
thanks.
Michael
