I thought the plan was for them to be powered from the HDMI connector, but it appears I was wrong, it looks like it can use either microUSB or the GPIO header. http://elinux.org/RaspberryPiBoard # The board takes fixed 5V input, (with the 1V2 core voltage generated # directly from the input using the internal switch-mode supply on the # BCM2835 die).
