Hey folks,
I just powered my new Jupiter board and I noticed an unexpected behaviour when connected to power through USB-C input. The board will boot and start normally and then consistently it will lose power suddenly between 1 and 5 mins and will reboot. I observed this running Ubuntu and Bianbu images provided on this website.
I used an Apple USB-C charger and cable, the ones included when you get a MacBook.
Is this behaviour expected?
I also read Jupiter usb-c port and pd power and just wanted to confirm if power via USB-C is supported. I guess all the folks demoing the board in howtos, YouTube, etc are using the jack barrel connector or a proper PSU for a reason.
Anyway, luckily I found a power brick 12V/3A DC adaptor with the expected width for the barrel connector and the board has been running for 30 mins without issues so far. I’ll leave it running all night to confirm if this setup is stable or not.
