Trackpad firmware update

[ravanh]

@ravanh clearly you didn't read ayufan's instructions I suggest you read them and, as its clearly stated, use an external keyboard + mourse / SSH for the update process

Yeah, I see that last point now... my bad. So, is there a way out of this? Or have I just ruined my 300 dollars (incl. shipping and 60+ euro tax) not 1 hour after unpacking? That's really depressing :/

Don't worry, you haven't ruined anything. Just start over. Do step 1, reboot, step 2, reboot. Thats all.

Ah, no... like I wrote: that's not possible. I boot into a black screen. I can see the mouse pointer but cannot move it. There is no login or anything. Cannot even use Ctrl+Alt+F-keys to get to a login terminal anymore...

And now I also notice "DO NOT USE WITH ANSI KEYBOARD. THIS IS NOT YET SUPPORTED. IT WILL BREAK THE KEYBOARD AS OF TODAY" on https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pineboo...rd-updater which is my case :S

It works, he just forgot to remove that warning from Git

<P64ProtocolBot> [D] <lukasz> ayufan ... what happened to the FW update?
<P64ProtocolBot> [D] <lukasz> ""DO NOT USE WITH ANSI KEYBOARD. THIS IS NOT YET SUPPORTED. IT WILL BREAK THE KEYBOARD AS OF TODAY"
<ayufanWithPM> oh, I might have not removed this message
<P64ProtocolBot> [D] <lukasz> phew...
<P64ProtocolBot> [D] <lukasz> so it works again?
<ayufanWithPM> nothing changed since last time
<P64ProtocolBot> [D] <lukasz> ok

OK, good to know. But in the mean time I still have a dead pinebook  

Is there anyone that can suggest a way out of this mess? I tried a bootable SD card but that seems to be ignored... Or maybe it just has the same result: a black screen with mouse pointer visible but no movement possible.
