+==========================
+
+The following monitors and resolutions have been tested for operation with the BeagleBone Black. 
+Check here often as we will update the list as we confirm the operation. Let 
+`Support <https://git.beagleboard.org/docs/docs.beagleboard.io/-/issues>`_ know the 
+model and resolution at which it works and we will add it to the list. Only the highest 
+resolution is listed below.
+
+.. note::
+    All the monitors most likely will work with AI-64 also but, make sure that 
+    you are using active miniDP to HDMI converter becuase passive convertor will not work.

+Power supplies
+###############
+
+Different BeagleBoard products require different power supplies. While BeagleBone Black and other AM335X 
+based boards will be fine with a 5V @ 1A, others, such as BeagleBone AI-64 require aleast 5V @ 3A. You 
+have to either supply the power via USB jack or a matching (center positive) barrel jack as shown in the table below.
+
+.. note::
+    The power supply is not supplied with the board.

+
+.. tip::
+    Most modern day mobile phone chargers are capable of delivering enough current to power any BeagleBone. 
+    You may try using that with a suitable cable before buying any standalone power source for your board. Please ensure the expected output voltage
+    and current capabilities are listed on your power supply before attempting to power your board. 
+
+If you plan to use capes or add your own circuitry, a power supply capable of higher current may be required.
+
+.. note::
+    USB-C supplies will auto-negotiate the highest power mode that both power supply and BeagleBoard support. In most cases, this will be 
+    5V @ 3A. It is OK to use a higher Wattage USB-C PD supply with a board, but it is recommended to use supplies from well-known manufacturers to 
+    avoid supplies that may break the USB-C PD specification.
