Pironman5 & Kali: Configuring Shutdown to Deactivate GPIO Power

Accessories for Raspberry Pi and Arduino
1

Hello,

I’m using Pironman 5 with Kali Linux now (the latest version/update). The only thing I got not configured was the the switchoff of the LEDs, at least the red one at the fromt is on when the system has been powered off.

The point Configuring Shutdown to Deactivate GPIO Power does not work, as there is no rpi-eeprom-configon Kali. Does anyone know, which config file I might need to modify with POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1?

Config: Pironman5 + Raspi5 4GB + Kali 2025.1c + Updates from 2025-05-01 + Pironman5 Software 1.2.7

Thanks, Mathias

By default, the Kali system is pre-configured to disable GPIO power upon shutdown, so no manual configuration is required.

To verify, please try shutting down the system by pressing the power button and check whether the RGB fans, OLED screen, and onboard RGB lights turn off properly.

After shutdown, a red LED on the Pi5 indicates a normal and safe power-off state—this is expected behavior.

Note: After upgrading the official Kali system, the command sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e is no longer functional.
