Yes, the missing schematics document makes everything unnecessarily complicated, but I hope that it will be available eventually. So far I can only speculate that the Micro-USB connector is probably just used for powering the device, and one of the USB host connectors is actually routed to the USB OTG hardware. It means that for booting over USB, we might need an adapter similar to this one - http://www.ebay.com/itm/131373127233 (I have actually ordered it) and a USB Mini-B cable to connect it to the PC. The USB boot procedure is described here: http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot
I'm one of the guys who may probably receive a Pine64 board from the first developer's batch. When/if it arrives, I will try to make sure that the USB boot works and that the U-Boot bootloader is usable and mainlined
