However, Pine64 has already contacted the keyboard manufacturer and they've assured Pine64 that SH61F83 is actually the same IC as the "full-fat" version, SH68F83, and that it supports many write cycles. However, if your Pinebook Pro came with a SH61F83, I'd recommed that you wait until I verify those claims; my first-batch ISO Pinebook Pro came with the "lite" IC and I'll test it out by performing about 50 to 100 write cycles.
I would not know where to look wich IC it is in my machine; however, mine is a 128GB version from 2019, within the first 1000 units, when I recall correctly.
Have not use my PBP in a long time because of the touchpad frustration, so I tried it anyway.
The update went fine and i do love my "new" Pinebook Pro very much now
Touchpad response time, speed, Gestures, everything much improved and actually usable now.
Thanks a lot!
