The power supplies are probably just standard 12v ones with internal DC-DC converters to make up the standard rails. Hooking it up to a bench power supply with current limiting should help keep you from frying anything. EDIT: At 19:57 the board has an LTC3853 DC-DC converter on it. They take anywhere from 4.5v to 24v. But it's probably shipping with 12 at a few amps depending on the load they need. If they need a couple hundred watts into these things they'd be using beefier connectors (most likely an off the shelf laptop PSU). The 12v fan is a giveaway that they are expecting 12v since it would most likely just run directly off the DC-in.

@@GamersNexus I would say with this to be aware of some shenanigans but. For instance, I know car stereos a while back had re-badged a standard pioneer (or whatever) as x car company stereos. They changed that, AND swapped the 12V and ground pins around on the power connector. Result being that if you plugged in a non x car company 'genuine' (read much more exxy) part, even though it was otherwise identical, it would blow a fuse in the car immediately. And would also take out some other, no doubt vital, system on the same fuse. So, I would say just check if the ground on the standard pin on the connector for whatever power supply actually agrees with ground on your new toy.

Or, for the brave, get a bench PSU, current limit to 20mA and slowly creep up voltage until the device attempts to start.

This is a relatively common configuration on several Zynq dev boards from Xilinx.

It's just a standard barrel-plug. a more indepth look onto the pcb near the connector would pretty easily reveal if you need 1: an ac or dc power source (ac would be very unlikely but possible) 2: if DC: is the center pin is postitive (usual configuration) or negative (a#$hole configuration) 3: needed voltage (basically the first capacitor tells you the rough range, a 20V cap must not exceed 20V. the bulkier the cap the more likely you neet to beef up the amperage of the psu). the closest ICs nearby the powersource are also an indicator. they usually have a datasheet, telling what voltage they need to have supplied to. taking the resistors nearby into account, should pretty easily make it pretty deterministic, what is needed 4: needed amerage rating (higher than needed would work, less than needed will cause problems, but would be very inlikely to damage anything. the barrel-plug itself also has a max amperage rating, providing more hints about what's needed) ...best bet, because it makes the most sense would be a 12v psu, which can hanlde at least the maximum test-parameter +~20% most of these parameters can be found out by just looking at the board, some carefully guesswork with a lab-bench-powersupply can at least mostly rule out damaging the unit.

Getting a power tingy is easy, just check the required power marking and polarity, it's legally required to be marked and the devices should be marked. If not they are NOT ment for sale. Then take a modular powerbrick, I got mine at a local 'we got everything' type store. Then it's just a matter of getting the right plug attached and the polarity (which lead in the hole is the positive, sigh standard would be nice) and you are ready to go. I've done this where I had a missing power adapter many times. The hard way to do this, is to get a adjustable power source with a swappable connector and tweak the hell out of it to find the power that works, but there are many typical hints you can find if the device has the basic of marking, aka part number, power info and so on. Be aware that doing this without any clue, tend to fry the device. Google's your friend. And if there are no outside info, then you'll find it inside. But figuring out the clues that way is harder. It would be nice if we could have an auto sensing power device that could check resistances and suchs and from there get to a working power setting. Or maybe that's only a Europe thing?
