Hi @jackhumbert 


I tried to update my ISO keyboard with @ayufan updater and experienced the following error https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pineboo.../issues/19

The error occurs during Step-2. I tried it on Debian via sdcard and via emmc on manjaro 20. The same error occurs with your updater>

Code:
Running STEP-2...
[*] Flashing touchpad firmware...
[*] Opening in touchpad mode
>>> Trying to open VID:258a PID:001f...
>>> Kernel Driver Active
>>> Verify mismatch: type=f2, pass=e2, received=d2
[repeated ...]
>>> Verify mismatch: type=f2, pass=e2, received=d2
>>> Touchpad verify (type=242, pass=226) data failed
>>> Touchpad erase failed
>>> release interface
[*]

I would really appreciate any help since I tried every suggestions documented in the other threads in this forum. I guess when you test any new releases you got a rollback scenario how to patch in the old firmware.

Appreciate any help

Yes, I tried:

- to do everything via ssh, tty, gui shell
- reboot after step-1
- reboot with complete shutdown for a couple of minutes
- with/without attached usb keyboard
- with/without attached usb mouse
- on debian via sdcard
- on manjaro 20 on emmc
- multiple times

Regards for your reply

I'm also having the same issue as Cloudnaut, having tried all the same steps.

>- reboot with complete shutdown for a couple of minutes
Question,, is this the shutdown from HOLDING pwr button for 15+ seconds? (for me, 20+sec),
for a COMPLETE shutdown?
Did you avoid starting X, at dm (sddm, ldm,whatever) DON'T login, switch to vt and login root?
You could try single mode, add "1" (no quotes) to kernel cmd line in extlinux.conf,
if successful login will be text mode in vt1
(if boot.txt/boot.scr need to recompile scr, with uEnv maybe just in that)

ok, tried that:

Code:
systemctl disable lightdm # so do dm was running anymore after boot
  • as you said, after a shutdown I held the POWER Button 20 seconds
  • executed step-2 after reboot and then I got a segmentation fault
  • Then I started from the beginning again with step-1 a couple of times but now after step-2 the verify mismatch error occurs again
I didn't manage to start in single mode, I added the 1 to the /sbin/init 1 command but then on boot I only got a black screen

Please have a look at https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/pineboo.../issues/19 how I got it working again (dirty but for me this was a last resort)

Hi!

I was trying to to flash my trackpad&keyboard firmware from Manjaro ARM 20.04 and messed up my trackpad.
Compiling was effortless, and ran without errors. However flashing went wrong:

I have rebooted, but the trackpad is gone! At least the keyboard works...
I tried to reboot  & redoo both steps, recompile with disabled error checking (from the previous posts, editing the sources).
This was my second attempt, previously I did successfully update the trackpad firmware but from the raspbian image.

I'm quite unsure what else could I do, so I would really appreciate any ideas!

Try flashing with a mrfixit boot?
