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.

What you'll need:

• Your Pinebook Pro fully charged / running of mains power
  
• Connection to WiFi
  
• An external USB keyboard/ access to the Pinebebook Pro via ssh 
  

What you need to do:

Please follow @ayufan's instructions exactly


Instruction Brief for BOTH models (read original instructions for further details):

ISO version

Code:

git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
cd pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev xxd
make

First Step:

Code:

sudo ./updater step-1 iso
sudo reboot

Second Step:

Code:

cd /pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo ./updater step-2 iso
sudo reboot

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANSI version

Code:

git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
cd pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo apt-get install build-essential libusb-1.0-0-dev xxd
make

First Step:

Code:

sudo ./updater step-1 ansi
sudo reboot

Second Step:

Code:

cd /pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater
sudo ./updater step-2 ansi
sudo reboot

So, that was bad... My Pinebook seems bricked now.

Not even possible to complete the first step, after
sudo ./updater step-1 ansi
I cannot even type sudo reboot because the keyboard has all letters wrong. Cannot even find a U  and mouse is gone too.

After force shutdown holding the power key, I boot into a black screen. I see the mouse pointer but cannot move it. Ctrl+Alt+F2 does nothing. I guess keys are still all wrong.

Does anyone see a way out of this????
