Power through GPIO and Power Button Header

Pascal

Hey guys,

my project is develloping but some questions are left...
(1)
I own a pre-production board from Kickstarter. Somewere i read, that the pre-production board should not be powered through the gpio 5V headers... is that correct and if yes: why?

(2)
There is a jumper for power (and reset). But it seems not to be a standart 2.54 mm pin header. So wich should I use?

Hi pts,

Please see below the reply to your enquiry

(1)I own a pre-production board from Kickstarter. Somewere i read, that the pre-production board should not be powered through the gpio 5V headers... is that correct and if yes: why?

To (1), Incorrect, the 5v should be working. You can check it out if you have Volt-meter
How did you know that the information ? it come from?

(2)There is a jumper for power (and reset). But it seems not to be a standart 2.54 mm pin header. So wich should I use?

To (2), Did you mean to CN2(Power Button)/CN3(Reset), if yse, the pin header spec is 2.00mm. You can make a custom button with 2.00mm connector, or use tweezer to short two pin of the CN to activate it.

Alternative Power sources
If your application doesn't require a lot of power, the UP board could also be powered through the 5V HAT pins
(b](Early innovators only) pre-production revisions of the board should only be powered through the DC jack.[/b]
