The supply ( PSU ) is superb;  the problem is the micro-usb power connector;  it really doesn't do well with the required currents.  It is best to power the SBC Pine with the euler bus.

Read through this link completely.

I know, I read it, I am just reporting my (anecdotal) success using the micro-USB power connector using lots of power-drawing peripherals without any real problem.
