I'm looking at finding a stop-gap solution for the box until Intel devs get something out. I am getting far too many issues with crashing* and video freezes. Windows 7 will likely never work due to firmware/BIOS requirements (ie, workarounds) that are not implemented in Coreboot. Windows 8 works fine, but does not output multi-channel (on the celeron model) audio over HDMI due to a driver limitation.

Don't have a HDMI receiver here to test RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.11 - 2014/06/20] - jsp1 - 2014-06-26 Interesting. I wonder if the graphics driver would be an issue with xbmc run under crouton. Has anyone tried that out, care to report? I know I'm off topic so that will be my last post on the subject.

RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.11 - 2014/06/20] - HTeePeeSee - 2014-06-26 Matt, I followed the instructions I thought to the letter a few weeks ago, installing the standalone firmware followed by Openelec and then Ubuntu. For some reason XBMC will not output HDMI audio using any driver. I thought maybe I would revert back to stock and try to load XBMC from there, but I can't. When I boot now, my system appears to hang at a black screen for quite a while, but then proceeds to load up Ubuntu. I can't for the life of me get it to stop booting and recognize a USB stick in the drive. Any advice on what I could do from within Ubuntu or otherwise to get back to stock? I would mostly prefer to run OpenElec but again, no HDMI audio makes this useless for XBMC duties for me. Thanks much for your great work and help.

For some reason XBMC will not output HDMI audio using any driver. If you can't get it to offer the boot selection menu, then you likely have a bum USB drive. I had one that wouldn't be recognized and had a similar problem. I would suggest first going and getting a new drive and trying that. Also, it would be worth your time to buy an inexpensive Displayport to HDMI cable - early on I had an issue where the BIOS menu would output to the Displayport but the GUI would output to the HDMI port. Matt has long since fixed this, but if you have some strange case going on here it may help you to recover.

I tried to update coreboot using option 5 and get the following error message: 3Tfu5W: line 212: flashrom: command not found An error occurred flashing the coreboot firmware, DO NOT REBOOT!

You need to run the script from either ChromeOS or ChromiumOS in order to update the firmware.

USB hasn't been the default boot for a little while now. if you're not seeing the boot menu, you need to hit ESC, then 2 before Ubuntu loads to boot from USB. I'd hit ESC then 2 repeatedly until you get the timing correct RE: Asus ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC or Ubuntu+XMBC) [v2.11 - 2014/06/20] - HTeePeeSee - 2014-06-26 (2014-06-26, 22:13)Matt Devo Wrote:(2014-06-26, 22:04)HTeePeeSee Wrote: OK.

This is going to sound silly, but do you know about how many seconds after power-on I should hit Esc, and then 2? I ordered a DisplayPort to HDMI cable from Monoprice so maybe that will at least let me see a boot menu, but not today. Thanks again Matt. Edit: Jackpot! I got it to work this time. I had been mashing Esc then 2, and repeating Esc. Esc then 2, 2, 2, 2, did it. Chromium OS booting up!

For almost all of them, performing a factory reset as described in section 1.3 of the wiki, followed by a full re-install of OpenELEC, seems to fix the issue. I have no idea what's different the 2nd time, or why a reset clears up the issue. It sure beats my old Asus ION.

I hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to the command prompt while ChromiumOS is loading, but when I try to login I get: localhost login: When I type "chronos" and enter it asks for password, I hit enter, and get Login Incorrect Any ideas? Edit: Google to the rescue. Apparently for the build of Chromium OS I downloaded, the username is 'chronos' and password is 'password' Off I go again... |
