| NVMe adaptor fix timelines |

In @Luke's stickied post, a fix for the NVME adapter was mentioned.
Two questions:
- As part of the 2nd community batch of PBP shipments, if you ordered an adapter with your PBP and received one, will you be automatically receiving the parts required for the NVME adapter fix?
- What are the timelines for the new parts to ship?

| Keyboard, Trackpad, and USB unresponsive on ANSI PBP |

Hello! I seem to have possibly messed up my ANSI layout PBP but I'm not sure what I might have done or what the problem is exactly.
I was booting from a microSD of the Manjaro ARM KDE 19.12 eMMC Installer image found here https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/st...sma/19.12/ and all seemed to be going well. I selected the eMMC device and it ran through the xz decrypt and flashed the eMMC steps fun but then it said press any key to continue and when I pressed a key nothing happened.
I have tried booting from other images on the microSD and this problem now seems systemwide. The keyboard and trackpad simply do not work anymore. Furthermore, a mouse and keyboard that I have confirmed are working on other devices simply get no power from the PBP anymore. I've also removed the battery and powered on from mains and the problem persists.
This is puzzling to me because the power button (which seems to be part of the nonworking keyboard) still works fine and the computer itself has no problem booting from either eMMC or from microSD.
I'd really like to be able to fix this, but I don't have the knowledge to diagnose the issue.

| down arrow having problems |

Just got my PBP yesterday. Most of the stuff looks good. One big problem I am having is that the
down-arrow cursor key is not working so well. Like it's registering double-touches when I hit it once, or thinking I'm holding it down when I press it briefly. It's making it quite frustrating when I have to navigate text-mode menus (which I've found myself doing a few times).
Anybody else having this problem?
Is it already discussed in another thread that I can't find?
I'm running version 1.9 of the OS according to /usr/share/myver
I've done the keyboard/trackpad firmware upgrade, and I think it went fine, but I'm not sure how to double-check that (I suppose I could just try to run it again).

| Manjaro XFCE: Enable Natural Scrolling (Reverse scrolling direction) |

Just thought I'd share for anyone else trying to figure this out. Enabling Natural Scrolling for Manjaro XFCE in the touchpad settings panel does not currently work. You can however, set it via the command-line according to the Arch Wiki. I'm not sure if this is the best/appropriate way to fix the issue, but it did work for me:
1. Using the package manager, install the xorg-xinput package, which contains the xinput utility
2. From the terminal, run the following command and note the ID number for the Touchpad:
3. Run the following command and note the number for the property labelled "Natural Scrolling Enabled (<propertyID>)" It should have a "0" next to it, indicating that it is disabled. Replace the <deviceID> with the ID for your Touchpad:
Code: xinput list-props <deviceID>
4. Set the scrolling property to "1" (enabled) by running the following command, replacing <deviceID> with your Touchpad's ID and <propertyID> with the ID number for the natural scrolling property:
Code: xinput set-prop <deviceID> <propertyID> 1
Note that this doesn't persist after a reboot, and the deviceID and propertyIDs appear to change. If you want to persist the changes, you will need to use the string names for the device and property in a .xprofile script in your home root. For example:
Code: #!/bin/bash
xinput set-prop "HAILUCK CO.,LTD USB KEYBOARD Touchpad" "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1
Enjoy!

| Pinebook Pro Revised Keyboard Firmware |

Hey all!
I've been digging into the keyboard firmware recently and trying to figure out how it all works, and luckily it's been pretty straight-forward 8051 assembly. I've started writing some pseudo-code to figure out the flow and data that's being read from the memory. From all that, it's been pretty easy to tackle some of the issues people have been reporting in the forums and Github, and I've put together a "revised" version of the binaries that contain some modifications that you might enjoy:
- Corrected Fn+F9-12 keys for ANSI (ISO version didn't have this issue)
- Arrow (and other) keys work with the Pine (GUI) key
- NumLock is respected only in the Fn layer, i.e. NumLock can be left on all the time
- Privacy switches now send keycodes when being enabled/disabled, for working into scripts/notifications:
Code: F14: Microphone Enabled
F18: Microphone Disabled
F13: Wifi Enabled
F17: Wifi Disabled
F15: Camera Enabled
F19: Camera Disabled
Check out the fork of the updater with flashing instructions here!
2020-01-31 Update: You can make your own keymaps
I've converted the revised changes into C code that allows you to actually compile things, and combine the changes with the .hex file automatically - this means you can easily create your own keymap, compile (from your PBP) and flash it to your PBP's keyboard. Both default ANSI and ISO versions have been used by community members, but I think it needs more thorough testing before it's ready for production.
Check out all of the documentation for building your own keymaps here!
These changes also fix a bug with the F3 key, adds arbitrary file flashing to the updater, along with some other changes that are documented in the PR itself.
If you have any bug reports or suggestions for other features, feel free to open an issue/PR in the repo, or discuss things here!
