Thanks
Interesting question.
One thing that is needed for a new input device, is the hardware input port. We'd have to look at the schematics of the Pinebook Pro and see what was available. Without looking, the only un-used internal I/O that I know of, are the PCIe lanes, 4 of them. (I don't know if touch panels use separate I/O from the display I/O.)
A nice thing about open designs is that you actually do get to see the schematics and block diagrams. Plus we can request design changes for version 2 of the system board. Like bringing out un-used I/O ports to board connectors. (Instead of having to solder to board traces or chip pins.) This is one of my personal projects, get to know Pinebook Pro's internals.
