  Hi,

  I have been very happy with X728! I am using it with a USB security module which requires PIN at boot time.

  I have one problem: when I software reboot the Raspberry Pi, the USB port briefly loses power and I have to unlock my USB security module again.

  This way I can do software reboots without going back to the datacenter and typing the PIN.

  I wish the x728 had a USB port that sustains power between reboots, like an externally powered USB hub. Is it possible?

  Hello，

  Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

  It needs to add a usb hub chip, but there is no room for another USB accessory on the X728 board.

  You can use the 5V Out XH2.54 port to connect a USB to achieve continuous power supply.  Hope it helps you.

  

   

  Best regards
