There is no > connector on the board I have not looked at the BeagleBone AI, but I presume it has GPIO headers, like the BeagleBoneBlack and the PocketBeagle. On both the BeagleBoneBlack and PocketBeagle, there is a 5V supply pin -- P9-7 and P9-8 on the BeagleBoneBlack and P1-1 on the PocketBeagle, which can be connected to a 5V supply. > 2.

If it is like the BeagleBoneBlack or PocketBeagle the USB power and header Vin pins go to seperate pins on the power management chip, which takes care of selecting power sources, depending on what is available. > > Thanks > Richard > -- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
