You should double check with Soren before you feed anything into the 5V
pin, I don't know if the PSU circuits will like that.

You can feed the board on the 12V pin, (same V-range as on the DC
plug) which I belive is _after_ the input protection circuitry, so
JP10 is not reverse polarity protected.
