RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - torbuntu - 10-05-2021
Is there a way to check the status of this updated firmware availability in fwupd?
RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - Neilcob - 11-04-2021
Much better but two finger scroll sometimes jumps and isn't continuous scrolling. Normal mouse movement is much improved though. It would be my daily driver if two finger scroll was working properly. Good work!

Hello all,
so I attempted to do the install, and step-1 fails already, I'm on `postmarketOS` so I followed the guide over their wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_Pinebook_Pro_(pine64-pinebookpro)#Updating_the_keyboard_and_touchpad_firmware
Which is the same except for the fact that they `curl https://mirror.postmarketos.org/images/pinebookpro/tpfw.bin > firmware/tpfw.bin` before the make command, I did clone the correct repo though, the one in OP.
When I run step-1:
Code:
sudo ./updater step-1
Please note that updating the firmware carries a small risk
of permanently disabling the trackpad and keyboard, effectively
bricking them. Proceed at your own risk.

Did the update couple of months ago, worked like a charm.
But just today noticed - NumLock function (usually F10 key) now activates with F9 key (usually PrintScreen key). And the PrintScreen function is missing.
Has anyone encountered this little bug? Any ideas on fixing them?

Mine does it too. But I thought someone, somewhere, decided that this was a feature. Not sure anymore; memory is fuzzy on this.
RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - heyghoge - 12-09-2021
Reflashed - now it's back to normal.
RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - alchemist - 12-10-2021
Thank you very much for this firmware!
Is it possible to have the right and middle click emulations with 2 and 3 fingers?
using libinput or synaptics?
EDIT: OK with libinput
RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - Phillip Bell - 12-16-2021
Finally got the courage to update today. If you are on Manjaro and pacman, command that worked for me is:
sudo pacman -Suy pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
Very quick and easy. Touchpad works 1,000% better, thank you!
Edit to add - on 0.0.3-4 , the NumLock and Print Screen still work the same way for me, no change.
RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - spacepossum - 01-17-2022
I finally updated today on my PBP (produced 8/20, part of the third production run I think?). The trackpad works significantly better (yay!) but the keyboard update is a mixed bag. Some issues with the keyboard are now fixed - numlock functionality now works (it didn't before) and the super-L and -R keys snap the windows correctly. All improvements.
However, the BlueFn-F3 key no longer triggers the "screen share" functionality. The other BlueFn key combinations work just fine. I actually used the screen share key quite a bit, so, that's a little frustrating. I tried going through the keyboard firmware hex files, nothing jumped out at me as being responsible for the change or an easy way to fix it, so, I probably missed something.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
xev puts out this when BlueFn+F3 is keyed:
KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x3200001,

RE: Finally... The touchpad works great! - UltraBlack_ - 02-14-2022
Hm, for me the updater fails at step 2 even though it passed step 1:
Code:
Verify mismatch: type=f2, pass=e2, recieved=d2How would I go about solving this?
