I am an unfortunate K400 keyboard owner, and couldn't use the Openelec + ChromeOS dual boot, as I can't press CTRL+D on the developer screen. I have also tried FLIRC to do that, without success.
So now I have a standalone setup with Openelec, and I'm trying to install Chromium OS to a dual setup using GRUB, or something like that.
The problem is that building ChromiumOS seems to be a real pain, and I couldn't go much further.
I also tried the "Cx86OS-20141102010101" version from this site http://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/ but all I get is a blank screen when booting from USB.
So, does anyone have a working build for Chromium to be used with the asus Chromebox? Any tutorial on how to dual boot Chromium + Openelec on the standalone coreboot firmware setup?
Thanks

Camd64OS-20141030010101 works fine for me, booting from USB.
Installing ChromiumOS and OpenELEC in a dual-boot setup isn't going to be straightforward. You'll need to install ChromiumOS to the internal HDD first, then use a modified version of my script to partition/install OpenELEC, then modify the syslinux bootloader to allow for a boot menu to select between the two OSes. I don't think anyone has done it yet, as It's something that requires a pretty good understanding of the two OSes, Linux, and bootloaders. Plus, I'm not sure how ready ChromiumOS is to use on a regular basis, from a user (vs developer) standpoint.
