Err. Not even a serial (UART) interface?

Suggestion for the next iteration of the board. Add an extra micro-sd
slot. Some of the benfits.
1. Boot from removable storage. While keeping a swappable storage available
2. Less wear on the soldered on flash
3. The A10 can expose UART and JTAG via the sd interface

Ehm why aren't you trying UART/JTAG over the SD-Card interface now anyway?
