Below are some roughly translated Tweets of what's been discovered on the PlayStation Classic thus far from emuonpsp (more on EmuOnPSP.net), and yifanlu of Yifan.lu shared a Hacking the PlayStation Classic - Day 0 video and more clips on his YouTube Channel as well!
PlayStation Classic Kit!

It was pcsx.
Controller recognized as a general-purpose game controller at windows10 10 button stuff
The save is one slot

Mystery Terminal, 3.3 V/1.8 V/1.8 V/GND
I recognize the generic USB controller, but I can only operate the cross key. If the button does not respond
Uart0 Disabled
Example 4-pin, PIN assignment will display the console at the 3.3 V/TX/RX/GND power cable. 921600baud/8bit/non parity can be received with stop 1bit/no flow
The Pl-2303hxc bought by the garbage value of Aitendo at such time is useful...

PlayStation Classic (PS Classic) Mini Console Teardown Detailed!
Following the PlayStation VR (PSVR) Headset disassembly and Ultimate PlayStation Classic FAQ, the technical analysis enthusiasts at DigitalFoundry (YouTube Channel) shared on Twitter a PlayStation Classic (PS Classic) teardown for those curious what hardware is inside Sony's new mini console powered by the open-source PCSX emulator. 
Below are details on their PS Classic findings alongside some PlayStation Classic teardown pictures courtesy of EuroGamer.net, to quote:
"What hardware is inside the PlayStation Classic and what it makes it tick? It's something we've been fascinated about since the project was announced. Initially, we wondered whether Sony might have returned to its PlayStation Vita SoC - a proven performer for original PlayStation emulation.
However, the platform holder has opted for an ARM SoC set-up - and one that's a good chunk more powerful than the internals of the NES and Super NES mini consoles.
Of course, Nintendo was dealing with far less capable hardware than the PlayStation for its mini-consoles - but the fact is that hackers have managed to install and run PS1 games on the Nintendo kit, albeit with varying levels of success.
Sony has opted for a quad-core ARM set-up that also integrates a PowerVR GPU - although the utilisation of GPU acceleration in the PlayStation Classic is likely minimal. The SoC in question is also paired with 1GB of memory, along with 16GB of flash storage.
With the console in hand and initial tests completed, we decided to dismantle the unit to get an idea of the design decisions Sony made in...
