Power Pi 3B+ from Cerbo GX USB Port?

Hi All

Is it possible to power a Pi 3B+ from Cerbo GX USB Port (maybe the Touch 50 port)?

I am keen to get rid of the Pi power supply and use the Cerbo for this. Is there enough power available (2A).

Thanks

Mark

Typically a USB port provides max. 500mA. Where a RasPi needs about 2.5A when not running in throttled mode.
