NetBSD and pinebook keyboard/trackpad firmware updater - mrgtwentythree - 01-07-2020
this post is to document the minor differences to run and
install the pinebookpro trackpad/keyboard firmware update
while running netbsd.
please see the original post for details about the issue:
https://forum.pine64.org/announcements.php?aid=23
for me i had to do this beyond the normal instructions:
- install libusb1 from pkgsrc
- install vim-share from pkgsrc (this provides xxd)
- patch the Makefile to use these cflags:
-I/usr/pkg/include -R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib
- use gmake not make
and i had to power-cycle between step-1 and step-2.

Thanks for this. It's very helpful.

That link is dead. I think this is the correct one:

People kept leaving "Press F to pay respects" comments on my "Shutting down NetBSD for the last time" video. I finally looked that one up to see what it meant, and I guess it applies here.

OK, i finally installed the ANSI kbd into my original pbp, and i had a couple of new issues i had not previously mentioned.
the first one is that some of the timeouts are not long enough for netbsd. i had to patch usb_keyboard.c to change usleep(100*1000) to usleep(500*1000). this allows 'step-1' to complete the first time. without this, re-running 'step-1' works at this point.
i still have to power cycle, not just reboot, between 'step-1' and 'step-2'. (i power cycled after the first successful 'step-2', so perhaps that is also necessary, though i do not know for sure.)
the second new issue was i had to revert a change made shortly after my original post above. usb_touchpad.c had a loop iteration reduced from 20 to 3 (and also the check afterwards). to make step-2 work reliably, i had to revert this change (i suspect 8 would work, vs 20, but i did not test that.)
