I don't understand the difference between UEFI and Legacy to know what to do with that information. Are you saying I need to update the Legacy bios?
not at all, I was simply stating that the OpenELEC image download will not work on the ChromeBox, as it is meant for a UEFI system, and the ChromeBox (with my Coreboot firmware) is legacy BIOS only. The updated legacy BIOS that is necessary for dual-booting systems with the stock firmware is also a part of my Coreboot firmware, so it does not need to be updated separately.
TL;DR - you need the regular (not image) version of the OpenELEC installer.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification. So I'm going to table this until I get home tonight then and try again with my TV and an HDMI cable. I'm not convinced that this isn't a monitor issue as these T240's are probably 5-6 years old now.

Ugh. Got home. Set it all up. Zero video output on HDMI. Black screen from the point I turn on the power. I left the Displayport cable at the office. I'm completely discouraged now. I think I'm going to return this to Amazon. My TV is around 2008 - is it possible that the HDMI isn't compatible?
