The part that really caught my attention was "an unpopulated NVMe slot."
IF someone populated the NVMe slot with a drive, would the Pinebook Pro use the built-in eMMC flash storage for startup and core OS tasks, using the NVMe drive for primary storage?
To my knowledge, PCIe (which is the interface used for NVMe) isn't bootable at this time in either the BSP or mainline kernel. So, presently, NVMe drives can only be used as storage. This may however change in time.
