Most mobile phone chargers are capable of delivering enough
current to power any BeagleBone. You may try using that before buying
any standalone power srource for your board.
Most modern day mobile phone chargers are capable of delivering enough current to power any BeagleBone.
You may try using that with suitable cable before buying any standalone power srource for your board.
If you plan to use capes or add your own circuitry, higher amperage may be required.
Make sure that you have a grounded connection. This can be the USB cable or the HDMI cable.
