My question regarding the rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb and the firmware blobs. How far as I understand, they were copied by the installer from the GitHub .
Now they are updated there, but not in my system.
In Debian's repos I see u-boot-rockchip, should I install it?
The devicetree will be updated since that is currently part of the kernel package, likewise any firmware that is packaged in debian will get updates. u-boot and some of the firmware binaries that are not yet in linux-firmware do not receive automatic updates.
Hopefully a v5.6 kernel will be coming your way shortly. I've been using it on my PBP for a few days and it seems solid enough so I will uploaded it to the build server in the next couple of days. The only problem I saw so far is that the backlight scale has changed. The new scale feels much better but after the initial upgrade the backlight may be so low it is hard to see the screen to turn up the backlight ;-) .
