We should make sure that the Wiki has the correct information / instructions, and then point the users to it;

Wiki - Pinebook Pro - Trackpad

As usual, feel free to correct, improve or comment, (good or politely bad).

I've received recently update of the kernel from @danielt and the touchpad became better, not wow, it still has some issues, but now it significantly better.

        (  Is this a dumb Question ? )

  Could downloading the firmware be called "step one"  ?

   Then step one would be called step two   ?
    And step two would become step three   ?

  Or am I not understanding something in this process  ?
 
   Also when Luke first posted this firmware 'update'  he mentioned "needing a 'usb keyboard' "
    While the Wiki says a 'usb mouse' is needed  ?

          Thanks for Clarifying this,   BC

Or maybe word the the Wiki to say "first download the firmware" then proceed with step one, then step two ?

Mis-installed firmware is a bit harder to correct than mis-installed software  ?

Anyone with an ANSI unit willing to help test the ANSI FW PM me please

I'll take a look at clarifying the Wiki trackpad firmware update instructions, when I do the update on my ISO model, (not done yet). That might be this weekend.


RE: Trackpad firmware update - Luke - 01-10-2020

ANSI (and ISO) FW flashing instructions now in first post.

[edit] @Arwen I also edited the wiki entry. Chose to have both versions written out in full just to avoid confusion.


RE: Trackpad firmware update - as400 - 01-10-2020

I have updated my ansi keyboard and trackpad firmware so I can confirm the update is ok and working as expected.

Happy updating Smile


RE: Trackpad firmware update - VultureShaun - 01-10-2020

So I'm getting 'command not found' errors at step 1

rock@Debian-Desktop:~/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater$ sudo ./updater step-1 ansi

sudo: ./updater: command not found


RE: Trackpad firmware update - sysadmind - 01-10-2020

I just received my Pinebook Pro ANSI today. After seeing this thread, I immediately updated the firmware following the instructions in the original post. 

I wanted to note that after running the step-1 script, my keymap changed and I could not run the reboot command. I tried fumbling my way thought the keys to figure out the new keymap and I eventually gave up and used the power button. On reboot, the wrong keymap was still active so I couldn't log in. Luckily I had a USB keyboard I could plug in and login and run setp-2. After step-2 I was able to reboot and on boot up, the keymap was back to normal. 

You may want to post a warning about this as someone without a USB keyboard may not have been able to easily workaround it.

You must've missed the warning post from last night: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8736

Correction, it appears there's been an update for ANSI keyboards.
