From the project

A/E Key NGFF adapter for the Pinebook Pro. Designed as drop-in replacement for the NVMe adapter.

Pinebook Pro M.2 WiFi adapter =============================

The M.2 A/E key adapter enables the use of M.2 WiFi cards in the Pinebook Pro ARM laptop.

This adapter was designed as a replacement for the available NVMe M.2 (M-key) adapter. It uses the same flat flex cable, mounting screws and mounting position.

USB is not present on the PBP FFC and needs to be connected manually if required. Test points for D- and D+ are present on the PCB. Most WiFi+Bluetooth combo cards use USB for Bluetooth, but the PBPs internal UART HCI bluetooth adapter can still be used, even after disabling the SDIO…
