Hi
I have bought the A20  Lime2 8GB nand Industrial version.
I downloaded the A20-OLinuXino-buster-base-20210318-122357.img and programmed my SD card using Etcher.
I am using the PC usb port to power the board.
When i connect the serial port this is the message i get

This is power issue. The board stops when more current is required. You can't power the board from the USB.

Use the barrel jack to power it. It requires 5V DC power supply capable of maintaining at least 2A of current (10W = 5V x 2A).

You can find the power jack dimensions here:

You can find suitable adapter with power jack here (or use the page and the pictures as a reference):
