Disconnect device #224

Open neil-benn opened 1 week ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am setting up a system to reset CM4 devices to factory settings - however I need to reset the partitions and then replace the eeprom which requires me to power cycle the target CM4 between partition clearing and resetting the eeprom. Is there a way to disconnect a device once rpiboot has connected it?

Describe the solution you'd like An rpiboot command witha command line switch to disconnect teh edvice and if not then some bash command(s) to disconnect teh device.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using a hardware solution with a switch on a relay connected to a GPIO port but that is a lot of work for the solution.

Set recovery_reboot=1 in the config.txt file in the recovery sub-directory.

Make sure that you have the latest version of the code / recovery.bin.

Thanks, can I ask what that does; sorry to be dense!
