Way's of Powering?

#1

Hello radxa Team,

which way’s are aviable to Power the Board.
I know i can use a USB-C Power Supply …

For my Situation i have a 12V Power Supply and would like to Power the Board.
What is the best Way ?

What is the PinOut for the PoE Hat ?

As last point i have two wishes

  • please make an LED which say’s “Power Error” so it is easier to figur out whats going wrong :slight_smile: i have sometimes the Problem with a to small Power Supply :slight_smile:
    ( it had enougth Power for the SD_Card but with the NVME i had error’s :slight_smile: )
  • please be so kind and help Armbian to get a Stable NVME bootable Image :slight_smile: mostly they Support the OS much longer then it is economical for you :slight_smile:

Best regards & Thanks a lot :-),
René

You want 12v at least 2 amp for some headroom 3amp even better.
Check polarity but inner pin vcc outer gnd

Yes but if your asking likely you prob should not be soldering wires to the right pins.

There is no Configuration Channel (CC) connection on a dumb power adapter its just Vbus and only vbus you connect and I was not being funny as if your asking or posting misconceptions then please do not solder it yourself.
It is very easy but adaptors do it already and with a brief look its just G/V you connect but for me there is the worry you would get the polarity wrong or connect the V-/V+ data channel to Vbus so maybe just don’t.
It 2 wires for power and you need to get the right pads and polarity and even though simple with what you have posted you obviously do not understand.
As I said buy an adapter…
