Oct 22, 2016 at 10:26 comment added joan @Jodes As far as I am aware, unless something actually uses the port (which is under your control) TXD will stay high between start-up and shutdown.
Oct 22, 2016 at 9:08 comment added Jayy Ah I didn't read your answer properly - I just realised that a UART receiver in the circuit is not necessary - it just needs to monitor the level of the UART to pin and check that the pin stays low for the period of 10 bits or more, since the line stays high without data, and during data, the start/stop bits will guarantee the line will still periodically be high.
Oct 19, 2016 at 20:46 comment added joan I can't see that you can get an earlier start signal than the UART. I'm also not sure you can get a later stop signal. On the stop side perhaps look at /boot/overlays/README for gpio-poweroff.
Oct 19, 2016 at 20:39 comment added Jayy Very clever! Thanks! But if I wanted a simpler circuit, how early/late would regular output pins be settable? (And how might it be done?)
