SOPine Baseboard - Fragile 5V Input Jack

This isn't Armbian per se, but I thought it worth mentioning for anyone considering a SOPine Baseboard.

 

Pine chose a small coaxial power jack instead of the micro USB for the main 5V input. This jack is kind of an odd size, but it also seems pretty fragile, especially when the extra leverage of a power cable is added to it. I broke the mount on mine within the first 20 minutes of use. It still worked as it was just the mechanical mount, but it became position sensitive and a pain to use. You can still power the board via the Euler bus, and that's what I switched to instead.

 

If this isn't appropriate for this forum, please feel free to move it (or delete) as necessary.
