Finally... The touchpad works great!
#67
I just did try to update and it failed on sudo ./ update step-1 ansi

Running latest Kali with desktop booting disabled.

After powering it off and back on the built-in keyboard is not usable. Btw, I did perform step-2 after power off / on with the external keyboard.

This is my last few lines from step-2

Code:
>>> Verify mismatch: type=f2, pass=e2, received=d2
EEE Touchpad verify data failed type:242 pass:226
EEE Touchpad erase failed
>>> USB device closed


Trying to flash with the older version that I had on my SSD, step 2 also fails not. So it is bricked.

EDIT: After some debugging session on IRC with "dsimic" (#pinebook), the step-2 issue was identified by opening the bottom cover and cleaning the trackpad connector (bus cable) on both ends, and re-inserting them back to the mainboard and trackpad. I was able to finish step-2
Please make sure you also "power down" vs reboot.

I will do more updates later. Need to finish my work now.
