Up core power connector

Davide

I can't see a secondary power connector in the UP core, only the 5V jack.
How can we reliably power it in an industrial environment with only that jack? How can we use a custom power supply and hide the jack to the user?

I would presume you do it the same way as the UPS-expansion does, ie. via the +5V- and GND-pins on the GPIO-header.

on the UP Core the additional power input are exposed via the dense connector which is used to attach the carrier boards.

One of the available carrier boards includes a wide range power input (12-24V)
