I have a few of the plugs on hand. I'm currently trying to figure out why the USB 3.0 ports and wireless nic isn't starting up, despite the presence of the sd8787_uapsta.bin firmware file.
If anyone has some lead or a clue as to why it won't start up the assistance would be much appreciated.

I did some research and so far I've figured that the device is connected to the SDIO hub which, in turn, is detected by the kernel on boot time; but the SDIO hub is not being accessed properly. At this point I'm just guessing as to the actual problem. Following the conversation in this forum thread https://newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4238.0 on discussion about the sd8787 and mwifiex driver I got the following values for the devices mmc0 and mmc1.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@d3node00 ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc1/ios
clock: 50000000 Hz
actual clock: 50000000 Hz
vdd: 20 (3.2 ~ 3.3 V)
bus mode: 2 (push-pull)
chip select: 0 (don't care)
power mode: 2 (on)
bus width: 2 (4 bits)
timing spec: 2 (sd high-speed)
[root@d3node00 ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios
clock: 25000000 Hz
actual clock: 25000000 Hz
vdd: 20 (3.2 ~ 3.3 V)
bus mode: 2 (push-pull)
chip select: 0 (don't care)
power mode: 2 (on)
bus width: 2 (4 bits)
timing spec: 0 (legacy)
')
And with the dmesg output:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

')
Where mmc0 is the rootfs storage device, I'm guessing that mmc1 is the one that needs to be configured for the WiFi card. It could also function as the hub for the USB3 ports. I'm not really sure if I actually make sense at this point as its 2AM already.
(P.S. I decided to make a new post rather than hijack a thread. Sorry about that.)
