[Arm-netbook] Mele A1000 internals

Some more of the mele internals have been identified

Recovery/FEL switch is 11K1 just below the flash, next to the CPU area.

12J1 can be used as a RESET. It's not fully identified if this is a
reset, but seems to work fine as one. This uses 5V logics so is quite
likely connected to the PMU and not the A10 CPU. There is a slight
possibility this is a regulated 5V power line however.

11J1 is visually identified as a ARM JTAG 11-pin connector. Have not jet
been able to connect an JTAG ICE to it to verify.

System RESET is unfortunately NOT wired to the JTAG port. The RESET pin
(12) seems unconnected, and no visible traces connecting to it.

Left to identify of relevance to EOMA68 is:

Purpose of pin 4 & 5 of the internal USB client port. Hopefully these
are POWER(4) if enabled by the CPU and USB ID (5) to allow OTG
operation. If this is true then it can be converted into an OTG port
like on our card.

If an I2C channel can be found somewhere along the right edge, or
somewhere else?

There is nothing interesting along the front edge. Those are only
alternative placements for the red+blue led, ir diode & power button,
plus a recording indication led.

Henrik
