        @BuZz I have also noticed this and I think it's normal. As the Pi 3 shuts down the green activity light flashes 10 times before it stops. Then red power light and green activity light stays on. I think it's as they use to say about Windows "It's not a bug, it's a feature". :-)

                      if one day the link above will be dead
                      (we all know this day will come)
                      , here's the code to update the firmware:

                      sudo apt-get update

                      sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

                            You will need to wait until that version of the firmware is packaged up (Unless you want to risk using rpi-update)
