Finally... The touchpad works great!
#93
Hello all,

so I attempted to do the install, and step-1 fails already, I'm on `postmarketOS` so I followed the guide over their wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE6...d_firmware

Which is the same except for the fact that they `curl https://mirror.postmarketos.org/images/p...o/tpfw.bin > firmware/tpfw.bin` before the make command, I did clone the correct repo though, the one in OP.

When I run step-1:

Code:
sudo ./updater step-1

Please note that updating the firmware carries a small risk
of permanently disabling the trackpad and keyboard, effectively
bricking them.  Proceed at your own risk.

Press Ctrl+C within the next five seconds to cancel... 5 4 3 2 1

[*]And if I do `lsusb` I get the following:

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 258a:001f
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

[*]The keyboard works, but the trackpad doesn't (which is what the step-1 is meant to do?).

[*]So before I install another distro (of the ones that seemingly worked), has anyone tried the updated with PostmarketOS or might be able to shed some light?
