just to the right of the Reset switch and around the corner from the SATA power
supply socket. (Confusingly, it's in the same place as where the Raspberry Pi's Power
In socket would be - that SBC doesn't have an OTG socket of course - so if you are a
regular R-Pi user just coming over to the B-Pi side of things, have your wits about
you when connecting your PSU. Personally, I have my PSU plugged into a switched
wall socket or switched extension cable with the micro-USB permanently connected
to the Pi. This reduces wear and tear on the socket's metal housing and also the solder
joints and anchor points around it on the PCB.)
In certain cases, the OTG port can also be used for supplying extra power to the SBC
by plugging into it what will become for the Pi a second Power Supply, for example
when first booting the Android 4.4 image. However, it is NOT recommended to plug
in any power source into the OTG for Linux and/or Android 4.2 images at ANY time,
and certainly NEVER on its own if there is nothing plugged into the DC In socket.
