Double-check that your power supply is within the rating board limits (7-27V for the X15 connector or 12V for the X17 connector) and that the polarity is not reversed. Also, ensure the power supply's current capacity is sufficient, or the system may shut down unexpectedly. For evaluation purposes, a 12V 2A power supply is recommended.

2.7 Make sure that the jumpers JP19 and JP17 are set to USB mode as shown in the image below, once we will use UART A via the USB Type-B connector X27.
