Power

BPI-Bit-S2 supports two power supply modes

1. Type-C USB：Use USB cable power supply, connect USB interface of computer or other 5V USB charger to power the development board.

2. Gold finger: At the bottom of the development board, the gold finger contains a power interface with both input and output functions. It uses 3.3V power supply, positive terminal is connected to 3V3, and negative terminal is connected to GND.
