[ From: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arch/2025-November/001076.html ] Just an FYI: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#decrease-raspberry-pi-5-wattage-when-turned-off reports: QUOTE Decrease Raspberry Pi 5 wattage when turned off By default, the Raspberry Pi 5 consumes around 1W to 1.4W of power when turned off. This can be decreased by manually editing the EEPROM configuration with sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e. Change the settings to the following: BOOT_UART=1 POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=1 BOOT_ORDER=0xf416 This should drop the power consumption when powered down to around 0.01W.
