any USB stick should work at this point. I'd recommend having 3 -- 1 for ChromeOS recovery, 1 for firmware backup, 1 for OS install

some keyboards, both wired/wireless, have issues working on the dev mode boot screen only. I know a logitech K400 will not work, but a K360 does. Once an OS is loaded everything is fine though.

ddr3-12800 1.35v. dual-voltage 1.35v/1.5v RAM should work (I'm using a dual voltage Crucial stick)

Thank you for the reply and looking forward to using your setup script, hopefully reporting success before end of the day!

USB sticks:
It is picky until you install coreboot from the script...chances are better with usb2 it seems. However, usb3 worked for me.

keyboard:
Wired for sure until you have completed all the steps to fix the software after which a wireless board will work fine. K400 by logitech works for everything except initial boot screen until you switch to coreboot and then it works fine.

memory:
oem is HYNIX 2Gb RAM MEMORY 1Rx16 DDR3 PC3L-12800S HMT425S6AFR6A-PB , any matching spec stick will work.

Edit: disregard, Matt beat me to the punch. Smile

Thanks a lot, not disregarding see it as a 2nd source to confirm :-)

I used a generic usb 2.0 to SD card adapter with a 4GB Sandisk SD card, a wired keyboard, and this 4gb SO-DIMM (which cost $36 when i bought it about 6 weeks ago and is no longer available). Any similar speced SO-DIMM should work fine.

Great I am in, will pick it al up at lunch!


RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.10 - 2014/06/14] - dettrittus - 2014-06-17

Hello,

Just a quick question to make sure I don't mess up. I dual boot OE and ubuntu minimal. Can I boot in ubuntu and run

curl -L -O http://goo.gl/3Tfu5W
sudo bash 3Tfu5W

to update the firmware to the latest version?

Edit: I found in the other thread that I need a bootable ChromiumOS USB stick.

No, boot a ChromiumOS USB stick and run the script from there.

I put the box to sleep at 20:22, waked it up at 20:24 and the box became responsive again at 20:26+.

looks like it might be due to the TPM module not behaving. Can you add 'tpm_tis.interrupts=0' to your grub kernel boot command list and see if that helps?

edit: tested and that fixes the "long resume" issue with the Fedora live USB, but it's also using a way older kernel so there's other issues as well. what kernel are you running on your Fedora install?

Thanks Matt. Have tryed it today and it works... mostly. The resume happens in millisiconds but the box won't sleep again until next reboot. And the reason, it seems, is TPM again. I'm getting the following messages:

Is there any option to switch off TPM completelly?

Thanks Matt, but I think I found a solution. Removing TPM module helps:
Code:
rmmod tpm_tis
rmmod tpm_infineon
rmmod tpm
But at next reboot these modules are coming back. I gues I'm going to add boot script... or there is a better solution?

you can try adding 'tpm_tis=0' to your kernel boot params via grub, or try my test firmware. I've been running it since yesterday when I started testing this. Seems like the TPM is useless outside of ChromeOS and does nothing but cause problems, so my next update may have it disabled

Does anyone know how to access OpenElec via VNC? i already have vnc viewer extension installed in chrome in my windows 8 pc and was working fine when i had ubuntu installed.
All relevant posts are about raspberry pi agrr

There are two ways to this addon remotely:

- Using Xming based X-Server
- VNC Connection optionally VNC Connection to XBMC too

@matt - THANKS SO MUCH!! your script rocks! I was up and running in less than an hour, I had a slight hang issue as in post #297. The fix was simple just start over and don't touch the boot screen setting. This little box seems good so far, plan on putting it through some tests over the next few days.


RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.10 - 2014/06/14] - furii - 2014-06-19

i noticed on the wiki that there are video issues with openelec (due to intel driver issues) but not with ubuntu, is that correct or is it an omission on the wiki?

you're welcome. I'll see if I can reproduce this and make adjustments if necessary.

it's a Linux driver issue, so Ubuntu as well. I'll update the wiki to reflect that.
