I don't see any mention of the power requirements for the board? Is it powered by 5V DC? (i.e. USB)

  Looks like there's a cylindrical DC power jack on the board.

    The power jack is labeled "DC5V@2A", but I doubt that the board would actually pull that much current as the SoC is commonly used in tablets.

      More than likely 2A is just to have some headroom for everything. They likely allocate an amp for the two USB. I can't seem to get access to the site now but I imagine there are a couple 5v and 3.3v pins in the GPIO header that are allocated a few tens of milliamps. That said, you're right that the board itself shouldn't pull anywhere near 2A.
