Pick right keyboard model

Pinebook Pro offers two keyboard types: ISO and ANSI.

Append your model type after the step-1 or step-2 command specifying iso or ansi.

In order to update with ANSI keyboard the external keyboard will be required as for the duration of the process the keyboard will stop working.

Update all firmwares

You need to do all of that in correct order, if at any point process fails, start it from point 1.:

1. Run step-1 iso or step-1 ansi of update process: sudo ./updater step-1 iso,
2. After step-1 iso or step-1 ansi touchpad will not work, keyboard works as normal (this is true only for ISO, the ANSI keyboard will not work after step-1),
3. Reboot with sudo reboot,
4. After reboot, run step-2 iso or step-2 ansi of update process: sudo ./updater step-2,
5. Reboot with sudo reboot,
6. After reboot, your keyboard and touchpad firmware should be updated.
