N.B. This trackpad/ keyboard firmware update applies to all Pinebook Pros produced in 2019
Before you start:
Your Pinebook Pro should be either fully charged or, preferably, running of mains. This utility will be writing chips on the keyboard and trackpad, so a loss of power during any stage of the update can result in irrecoverable damage to your trackpad or keyboard.
The scripts ought to work on all OSs available for the Pinebook Pro. Some OSs may, however, require installation of relevant dependencies.
Please report any issues you encounter in this thread.
