Systems and Methods for Providing Back-Up Power to a Processor Using an Un-Interruptible Power Supply

A RASPBERRY PI (RPI), comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:
• receiving power from a power source based on a capacitor full (CAPF) signal indicating a charge of an SC power bank of a RASPBERRY PI Hardware Attached on Top (RPI HAT) is at or above a first threshold, wherein the RPI HAT comprises a delay circuit that delays a power source from providing power to the RPI until the charge of the SC power bank is at or above the first threshold;
• based on receiving the power from the power source, initiating a start-up sequence for the RPI, wherein the start-up sequence comprises providing an override signal to the RPI HAT, wherein the override signal overrides the CAPF signal;
• receiving, from the RPI HAT, one or more unexpected power loss signals indicating a power loss from the power source;
• and
• initiating a safe shut-down sequence based on the one or more unexpected power loss signals.
