Two options are available to power-up the board:

  • Powering through the USB Type-C connector on the USBA port (J3)
  • Powering through the DC jack connector (J1)
Table 2-3. Electrical Characteristics for DC Jack Connector
Electrical ParametersValue
Input voltage5 VDC
Maximum input voltage (limits)6 VDC
Current capability6 A
CAUTION: The board runs at a 3.3V voltage level logic. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages (e.g., 5V) to an I/O pin could damage the board.
