Hey there, I'm not asking for a feature request here but would just like to get an idea of the overall complexity of modifying the PCB design to be able to support the following:
* Touch Screen (for typing)
* USB ports (micro or otherwise)
* Access to GPIO pins. whether this just be a mini plug that requires a further breakout board to use is fine.

 

I've been looking at this project for years now as I've always wanted to create a portable hacking machine from a PSP for work and or play (I work as a cybersecurity consultant). However, this would require additional USB ports for things such as Network Adapters and bluetooth modules, a touch screen (for well...faster typing) and GPIO pins for interfacing with JTAG connectors and such.

What do you think the complexity off adding these features would be?

I believe the USB ports should be fairly easy, as there is plenty of documentation of breaking out USB from the CM4. and the GPIO I could incorporate a pretty simple connector and breakout board that attaches to the back of the PSP when needed. However, I'm not sure what is required to handle a touch screen?

Thanks in advance!

The board already supports a touch screen, but the GPIO is all used for video and audio and can't be used for anything else.

USB is accessible, but it's only a single port.
