Just got my PineBook Pro and ran the ANSI firmware update. Things are working pretty well but the trackpad has a peculiar behavior. It's like the mouse position is a couple steps behind the buffer for the trackpad. For instance, if I move left, then stop, then move up. When i start moving up, it goes left a little bit then up. It's just a bit behind and it doesn't update until new input to the trackpad is made.
If it's not just me, maybe I can help sort it out and post a patch? Very new to Pine and the hardware. If that is the case, would you have recommendations on where to start looking into the code? Very comfortable with hardware and mircocontrollers.
Really excited about this project, thanks everyone for their help and contributions!
Hi Folks,
Just received my PBP ansi machine. I have gone through the firmware update instructions for the ansi keyboard, as well as applied mrfixit's updates. The machine works great, but I'm having some weird issues with the keyboard.
The key right above the enter key is supposed to produce a pipe symbol with the shift key. Instead I get a ~ (tilde) symbol when I use that key combination. without shift, it produces a hash instead of a backslash.
I have found a couple other keys that are not mapped correctly ( like the key that produces the ~, which produces ¬ instead. The shift-3 produces £, shift-2 produces ".
Maybe I just need to do something to update my keymap. Since characters are being produced, I don't think there is a keyboard issue. However, if I plug in an external USB keyboard, the mappings seem to be correct.
I haven't noticed anyone else report this issue, and I apologize in advance if I missed that this is a common problem.

Look into Control Center -> Keyboard -> Layout and see if it's set to English (US). If it's set to English (UK) then it's using the ISO layout

I ran the update instructions for ANSI keyboard from the forum thread and now my touchpad is not working and the keyboard is scrambled beyond use. On the full instructions, at the top (which I overlooked thinking the forum was more up to date), there is a warning that things would break. Now that I'm in this state, what are my options to fix this? Can we flash older firmware until a patch is updated?

I'm experiencing this problem too, and it's maddening. It's the last thing that's stopping me from using my shiny new PBP as my main machine—the trackpad is unusable like this. I have to assume it's not happening to most users or it would certainly have been noticed and fixed by now.
At some point I'm going to try just re-applying the firmware update, to see if that somehow fixes it. I've been too busy with other stuff until recently.
Folks,
I don't know what I may have done wrong. First
$ sudo ./updater step-1 ansi
$ sudo reboot
The first line completely re-mapped the keyboard so I couldn't do the second line. I rebooted via menu. Then with a re-mapped keyboard I couldn't log in again. Keyboard and trackpad are unusable.
I attached a usb keyboard and was able to log in. However, without trackpad mouse I couldn't figure out how to open a terminal window to find out what went wrong.
I logged into it via ssh (surprised sshd was running by default) and I reran line 1 and line 2 thinking I could re-flash the firmware
$ sudo ./updater step-1 ansi
$ sudo reboot
No issues and no luck. It didn't work.
Help! Any ideas?
Bill

* Running step-1 made keyboard and trackpad unusable..
* I had a bluetooth mouse attached so reboot via menu. Keyboard power key might have worked
* Rebooting and all of keyboard, trackpad, and mouse wouldn't work. Used usb keyboard to log in.
* Re-ran step-1 and reboot. No help
* ssh in remotely and was surprised and happy that sshd was running by default.
* ran step-2 and reboot.
All is working. Whew!
