Hello,
We are using RPI5 for our clients. We are about to deploy them fitted with the Raspberry Pi M2.Hat+. We are running Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 25.10 on them.
We found out that the RPI5 is not always able to reboot when issuing a command "sudo reboot". I read somewhere that this is due to PCI whatever not being reinitialized properly by soft resets. When this situation arises, a power cycle will always bring back the Pi to life and it will boot as expected.
I tried to read on this topic on the web. A lot has been written, but no suggested fix has worked for me. In any case, I now understand that these fixes apply to hats other that the official one from Raspberry Pi.
Has someone been able to resolve this issue?
It is critical for us to fix this problem as the RPI are installed at very difficult to read locations in an industrial environment. It will never be possible for us to ask a human being to perform a power cycle on the Pi.
Many thanks.
