| Updating python |

I may be a Linux noob on this, but I wanted to update Python. I pulled down 3.8 from the Python SFTP, ran configure, make, make install, and updated alternatives. I chose to make 3.8 "python" as I never use 2.7.
Whoops!
It seems the Pine Advanced Mate Menu is dependent on 2.7 being in place. I lost my menu and the pine key did nothing. A little time spent reading logs and I find a python error message. Set the system to use 2.7 for "python" again, quick restart, and my menu is back.
Still missing my MrFixIt update script icon, so I need to do a little more digging.
Anyone else hit this issue?

| Ayufan apt repository? |

At http://deb.ayufan.eu/orgs/ayufan-rock64 there's no Buster. I was careful to look for an Ayufan Buster image
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-b...m64.img.xz But I worked with it for a week or so before I discovered there are no Ayufan repositories in the sources.list it contains.
I managed to get X running but without acceleration (modesetting works), I built the armsoc driver from source. But there's still something missing because it gives me a black screen and in the xorg log I see
Code: [ 80174.089] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri/armsoc_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[ 80174.089] (EE) AIGLX error: unable to load driver armsoc
Locate finds no armsoc_dri.so anywhere, there's just an armsoc_drv.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers (once I fixed the PREFIX so it went there). Are there 2 different files or should I symlink one to the other? There aren't many (EE) errors left in the log. And by the error it's looking where many of the normal libraries are, not where the xorg drivers are. The path is probably compiled into armsoc_drv.so but it looks specific to armsoc.
I was poking around on here and discovered there's a script /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh. But when I tried to install manually some of the stuff it installs they aren't found like they were somewhere else. xserver-xorg-video-armsoc, libdrm-rockchip1, libgl4es1 are missing. I installed what I could, there's still no armsoc_dri.so.
-------------
Looking elsewhere having the armsoc_dri.so missing is common (or always). Fedex just unexpectedly brought me 2 new SD cards yesterday, so I'm going to load up Stretch on one. The nice thing about having a spinning rust drive in a USB housing is that I can change SD cards and still access it. It's just storage, I don't boot from it.

| Trackpad firmware update |

[edit 03/04/2021] These instruction's do not apply to Pinebook Pros shipping in 2021. The new and improved keyboard/ trackpad firmware is already flashed on the devices. This thread is now archived and locked.
[edit 10/01/2020] FW flahing Instructions have been edited for both ISO and ANSI users now
Credit goes to @tllim , @xalius , @ayufan and @anarsoul
N.B. This trackpad/ keyboard firmware update applies to all Pinebook Pros produced in 2019
Before you start:
Your Pinebook Pro should be either fully charged or, preferably, running of mains. This utility will be writing chips on the keyboard and trackpad, so a loss of power during any stage of the update can result in irrecoverable damage to your trackpad or keyboard.
The scripts ought to work on all OSs available for the Pinebook Pro. Some OSs may, however, require installation of relevant dependencies.
Please report any issues you encounter in this thread.
What you'll need: - Your Pinebook Pro fully charged / running of mains power
- Connection to WiFi
- An external USB keyboard/ access to the Pinebebook Pro via ssh
What you need to do:
Please follow @ayufan's instructions exactly
[edit 14/01/2020] If you encounter issues please try this.
[url=https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8407&pid=56570#pid56570][/url]
Instruction Brief for BOTH models (read original instructions for further details):
ISO version
Code: git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
cd pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev xxd
make
First Step:
Code: sudo ./updater step-1 iso
sudo reboot
Second Step:
Code: cd pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo ./updater step-2 iso
sudo reboot
ANSI version
Code: git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
cd pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev xxd

| NVMe power issue? |
|

Hi all,
I've just experienced what appears to be a power issue with the VCC3V3_SSD and probably also the VCC3V3_SYS rail. When my battery is below 40 % communication with the NVMe SSD fails on bootup. This manifests itself in either kernel warnings on bootup and a kernel panic as soon as i enter lspci or a kernel panic immediately on bootup.
My current theory is that during probing of partitions on the NVMe SSD the SSD enters a high power mode and U3 can't keep VCC3V3_SYS at 3.3 V.
The SSD I'm using is a Corsair MP510. Its supported power states are
Code: St Op Max Active Idle RL RT WL WT Ent_Lat Ex_Lat
0 + 6.80W - - 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 + 5.74W - - 1 1 1 1 0 0
2 + 5.21W - - 2 2 2 2 0 0
3 - 0.0490W - - 3 3 3 3 2000 2000
4 - 0.0018W - - 4 4 4 4 25000 25000
I'm in general somewhat puzzled about how the Pinebook Pro is supposed to stay operational when the battery is low. The discharge cutoff voltage of the battery is specified as 2.75 V. However U3 is just a step-down regulator. Thus it won't be able to maintain VCC3V3_SYS at 3.3 V once the battery discharges below 3.3 V.
Has anybody else experienced anything similar yet?

since the LAN of my card almost immediately started to throw a tantrum. I thought of connecting a usb wifi with rtl-8192eu chipset. in any way I try to install the drivers I get compilation errors and I ask if there is a procedure to follow in order to install this damned usb token to resume using the card. Thank you all for your understanding

| Pinebook Pro replacement keyboards/parts |

Just wondering 'when' we will be able to purchase replacement keyboards for our Pinebook Pro's ?
As for substituting an ISO for an ANSI or a ANSI for an ISO, or simply because something broke on your original keyboard ?
Also perhaps replacement or upgrade motherboards as the PBP matures.....
What if you happen to damage your screen ?
I am hoping to see some replacement parts on the store website.
Thanks !
(Maybe some cool accessories like skins or cases as well)

I’m retooling my rockpro64 NAS and considering things I want to do to it eventually that I couldn’t pull off this time around. I’m trying to plan for increased power draw since as is I cannot boot from usb3, even with a powered usb hub. Only USB2 boot works and this has supposedly been traced to the rockpro64 not getting enough power.
If I were to bump this to 4 hard drives and a Marvell sata card (those are stable now, right?) what would the power draw be at peak with gpu?
