Trackpad firmware update
|

That is strange, because the way that I know that the firmware is persistent is that the name of the device also changed from "HAILUCK ... Ltd." to "Pinebook Pro Touchpad" or similar. This is across different operating systems, too.

Has anyone else experienced this? That is very strange. What bad touchpad behavior are you seeing? Does it appear immediately on reboot? Does the reset permanently improve the behavior until another reboot? The issue I occasionally experience which is fixed by a reset or reboot I suspect to be an issue inherent to the touchpad firmware. I have noticed that sometimes the touchpad will get itself in a "bad state" where it gets overly sensitive and constantly thinks there's touch events even when I'm not touching it.

Just by the nature that firmware is persistent to the hardware, and the operating system software is independent of the of the firmware, perhaps you have a settings problem within the operating system...
( Just my observation)

Is this update required for PBP shipping mid Oct 2020?

I tried running the updater from https://github.com/jackhumbert/pinebook-...d-updater/ on ANSI PBP shipped 10/2020. After first step finished, key mapping was wrong and trackpad did not work. Step 2 results in :

I FINALLY fixed by putting my pbp kb in boot mode with a python script.

That could take place for a lot of reasons:
Hardware fail: The controller board of your trackpad could be damaged; for instance, A static discharge from your frame on your PC can do that. Normally you need to update the complete trackpad module to fix this. Cable disconnect or connector trouble: Your trackpad is usually linked to an important board the use of a flat cable. When you have recently opened your computer or you've got dropped it or any form of liquid surpassed internal your pc, then there are desirable chances that the cable is the reason. To repair, a certified technician otherwise you (along with your obligation) ought to open the PC and see if the cable is loose, connector pins are bloodless soldered. Flat cable pressure lost problem: Also observe that flat cables can be without difficulty unfastened their connection sincerely because there is not sufficient strain on them. For the duration of time, the rubber fabric at the back of the cable gets more difficult and can't position sufficient pressure, fixing its miles very absolutely, add a piece of paper at the back of it to feature stress. The very sign of this is when your trackpad starts running when you bump on it. Bodily pressure from inside: This could be especially true if you are the usage of apple laptops. Battery swelling is not unusual trouble for those laptops and might not note its miles happening at first. Look at the frame and you will see it is slightly reshaped. You need to open your computer and update the battery as soon as possible before its harm is greater. Software program issue: You can delete the device driving force of the trackpad with the aid of coincidence. Go to your device supervisor and make certain that the trackpad device is there or attempt to reinstall it to look if it makes any distinction.

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] Thread reopened A new firmware for the trackpad has been released today, greatly improving precision, latency and responsiveness of the Pinebook Pro's trackpad. The firmware has been tested on both new and older Pinebook Pros, ANSI and ISO, and no issues have been reported, Flashing instructions in announcement in General Discussion on Pinebook Pro subforum. |
