  • Can the Wireless connectivity cape be powered via the USB port, or are you required to use an external power supply ? 
    I am currently powering my beagle bone Black (without wireless connectivity cape) via usb.
    When I connect the WCC I am unable to access the BBB via putty.
    Is there any support that can be provided ?

    Thanks
