Axon SBC Power Input: Mobile Charger vs Recommended 12V PD Supply

[gohil.404]

Hi @Avi_Shihora,

I am currently using the Axon SBC and noticed that it powers on and works fine even with a regular mobile charger in my case. So far, I haven’t observed any issues or instability.

However, the Official Documentation mentions to use a 12V PD power supply Adapter, which has made me unsure about which one I should follow.

My Questions:

1. Is it safe to continue using a normal mobile Adapter (non-PD) if the board is working fine?
2. Could this cause any long-term issues or performance limitations?
3. What are the risks of not using the recommended 12V PD supply?
4. Are there any specific charger/Adapter models or specifications you recommend for reliable usage?

I will also attach the details and image of the charger I am currently using.

Thanks!

My Charger Info: The adapter I’m using is a Motorola TurboPower 33W Charger (Model: MC-334)
