Well there are the various things that pine64 does not have that might be useful in a future version, but a lot of these might bump the chip into a higher price bracket:
However, with the current board:
- Sata port(s)
- USB-3 instead of USB-2 (but backwards compatible with USB-2)
- More memory
- 2.1mm power connection
- Faster/newer processor
- Onboard flash memory that you can install an OS to in addition to micro-SD card and/or 2nd flash drive
- Having on board temp, motion sensor
- Having on board GPS
- Having a better camera as an add-on
However, with the current board:
- Update the wiki connector page (http://wiki.pine64.org/images/d/da/Pine64_Connector.JPG) to specify the exact plug used (i.e. enough detail that you could order the part from digikey), specifying that the 2x17 and 2x20 pinouts are 0.1", the microphone is 3.5mm stereo with microphone (and pinout for the 3.5mm), power switch, IR sensor, etc.;
- Provide pinout documents for the camera/lcd/touch panel connectors;
- What pins (if any) are 5v tolerant;
- How to access all of the pins/buses on the pi-2/euler/wifi breakout areas in both Android and Linux OSes;
- What is needed to adjust the RTC for different temps;
- Specify exactly what type of lithium battery can be connected to the pine64;
- Provide wattage (power draw) for the pine64 under different scenarios (low power mode, with ethernet enabled, with wifi/bluetooth attached, with LCD attached, with both LCD and camera attached, etc.), and give how long the pine64 will run with the 8000mAh battery.
