Hi Maxim, The reason why we did this is that the board in question was mounted to a piece of wood, that is screwed into a wall. So grounding Vbus would not have been easy. Vusb for us was really easy. Solder the outside pins on a USB A socket to the outer shielding, then plug a MALE A to mini B cable to the socket, and BBB. Took a total of like 5 minutes . . .
Normally I do not worry about any of this, and use USB power. Except this time for this project we needed the canbus running, and powering via USB cause the canbus to be less than reliable.
