Hi.
I've kickstarter's version of A64 vs 2GB RAM with LCD 7" and 2A power supply that was shipped with the devices
I've boot it up with Android 6 using HDMI succesfully, but when trying to boot it up with LCD connected, it doesn't boot up - the power led going half brihtness for a second, then full brightness and then off. Pressing power button getting same results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Can't reinstall debian after breaking pre-installed OS |

I made a mistake and wrecked my chromium and firefox installs and need to revert to factory state OS. I downloaded the image from the repo for the same debian that comes pre-installed, but after burning to micro-sd it just sits on a black blank screen. I left it for over an hour just to see if that was just initializing or installing or something but after I rebooted it the old broken version is still there.
I got the aryfan build of bionic to boot up but it is a live os that can't seem to connect to any wifi (says bad password, even though I did it over and over and it was not a bad password). But it shows the card is being read and can be boot from.
I used etcher to burn the image of the debian mrfixit build to a 32gb micro SD but like I said it is just a blank screen. Right now my pinebook pro is pretty useless, but it is my own fault for tinkering so much with it. Any ideas as to why the image (pinebookpro-debian-mrfixit) just sits on a blank screen? I wonder how they put the OS on this in the first place.
Anyways, love the pinebook pro otherwise, and thanks.

| rkmpv Accelerated Media Player issues |

This is a minor problem, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
I'm running the Bionic-Mate build off SD. The rkmpv Accelerated Media Player seems to have the best video quality compared to the other two installed players. (I have not tried installing VLC yet.) However, it automatically opens in full screen, there doesn't seem to be any way to exit full screen, moving the mouse to the top or bottom of the screen doesn't bring up a bar with controls or playing information. Keyboard commands do not work well. Sometimes pausing with the space bar works, other times it gets stuck.

Hi everyone I got my PBP and its cool, but I don't really want/need it anymore so I thought maybe one of you would want to buy it off me rather than have it collect dust. There's no defects that I can tell. I suppose this is the right place to advertise it? Hit me up with an offer.
apologies if this isn't the right place to post this

| 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.

[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.
