    329329== Is Bad CRC an error in my boot log?
    330330It is important to realize the meaning of the Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment message. This means that the non-volatile env area is empty or corrupt (Note that this is the way Gateworks Ventana boards ship by default) and that the built-in env within U-Boot will be used.
     331
     332= Can the Gateworks SBC be powered by a battery?
     333
     334Yes, depending on several variables.
     335
     336The Gateworks SBCs typically take a 8-60VDC power input. Refer to the user manual of the model being used.
     337
     338The current required is dependent on wireless radios and other peripherals used, but usually the boards themselves draw anywhere from 2-10 watts.
     339
     340The capacity of the battery will determine how long the SBC can run. Simple power calculators found online can be used to determine running time.
