Thanks

These type of firmware updates really do update firmware and should require manual intervention.  Common Linux "firmware updates" do not involve actual firmware at all, but rather software drivers that are part of Linux.

Is there a central place to review all available firmware updates for pinebook pros? Or would it just be found by watching all of the forum threads? Hopefully not the latter as it would be easy to miss.
Thanks.
