Trackpad firmware update - Luke - 11-22-2019

[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

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

RE: Trackpad firmware update - jsfrederick - 11-22-2019

Just ran the updater. Worked well. Trackpad is MUCH better now. Is actually usable. I just followed the Ayufan's instructions exactly and had no issues.

A GREAT BIG thanks to all involved ( @tllim , @xalius , @ayufan and @anarsoul )

RE: Trackpad firmware update - tsys - 11-22-2019

Hi,

thanks a lot for the firmware update! Missed keyboard keystrokes and bad tracking from the touchpad where major pain points for me.

Would it be possible to open source keyboard and touchpad firmware? I'd love to see this device become even more open Smile

RE: Trackpad firmware update - m80 - 11-22-2019

Worked great for me too. Thank you all very much.

This doesn't look OK. And touchpad doesn't work.
Tried flashin second time, same result.
Anything I can try to solve this?

Had that happen to me, too. It seems the touchpad does not enter boot mode reliably. Just rebooting and retrying fixed it for me.

Just step-2 or everything from the start ?

While the manual states that you should always restart from step-1 I did only step-2 again after rebooting. It worked for me, but no gurantees. I believe the update steps are somewhat independent once step-1 has completed but that is just an intuitive assumption I got from the log output.

RE: Trackpad firmware update - gabeeg - 11-22-2019

Updating worked like a champ. A quick sloppy typing session in leafpad and it is a vast improvement, love it! Thank you.

RE: Trackpad firmware update - brent.thierens - 11-22-2019

Updated without a problem. Works much better!
However, when I am using the touchpad and I want to left click and I touch the touchpad, my mouse jumps around (also present previously). In general, much better and way more accurate. No problems with the upgrade as well.
