OK to connect Rock64 to 5V/2.4A USB super charge? - AkiraSensei - 02-24-2018
Is it all right to plug the Rock64 to a 5V/2.4A USB super charge socket? I should've gone with the prong version but I ordered the barrel to USB cable instead. The Rock64 boots up fine and I did some playing around (ran two x265, 1080p videos through Kodi on Android).
From what I've read on this forum, some have even gone as far as turn the board up on a 1 amp with success, so 2.4A seems good enough, right? What about this "super charge" thing? I know that's meant for phone charging, so I'm concerned if this could damage the board over time.
