Plugin: Hailuck

Introduction

Hailuck produce the firmware used on the keyboard and trackpad used in the Pinebook Pro laptops.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in a packed binary file format.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • com.hailuck.kbd
  • com.hailuck.tp

GUID Generation

These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.

  • USB\VID_0603&PID_1020

Update Behavior

The keyboard device usually presents in runtime mode, but on detach it re-enumerates with a different USB VID and PID in bootloader mode. On attach the device again re-enumerates back to the runtime mode.

For this reason the REPLUG_MATCH_GUID internal device flag is used so that the bootloader and runtime modes are treated as the same device.

The touchpad firmware is deployed when the device is in normal runtime mode, and the device will reset when the new firmware has been written.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, in this instance set to USB:0x0603

External Interface Access

This plugin requires read/write access to /dev/bus/usb.

Version Considerations

This plugin has been available since fwupd version 1.5.2.
