there is a switch on board always on, please toggle it to en means enable, it will never cut of the power when you shutdown the raspberry pi, and if you can wake it up from command line, it will OK. but as I know, if you want to reset the raspberry pi, you need to adding external hardware to trigger RUN, GLOBAL_EN pin on Raspberry Pi. and if you shutdown the system, do not send POWER_OFF signal via /dev/ttyUSB0 to MCU on deskpi daughter board. because the sigal will let the MCU cut off the power, so that you have to press the power button again to power it on.
