Updated the firmware on my Dell Chromebox and noticed in the script I saw:

Code:

Do you wish to continue? [y/N] y

Checking if update available...

bash: bad number
Firmware update available (20141210)

Downloading flashrom utility

Downloading cbfstool utility

Reading current firmware

Downloading coreboot firmware

Installing custom coreboot firmware: coreboot-haswell-chromebox-20141210-md.rom

coreboot firmware successfully updated.
Please power cycle your ChromeBox to complete the update.

Don't know if there is a typo in your script when it checks the bash for something or if it's always said that. Updated without a hitch though.

Steps to repeat:

curl -L -O http://goo.gl/HSZer4
bash HSZer4

edit: was a parsing error reading the date from the current firmware (the formatting changed since I first wrote the script) -- fixed

I had that output on my ASUS Chromebox as well. I figured for my install, standalone OpenELEC, the BASH version isn't returned because OpenELEC doesn't use a complete BASH shell.

no, it was me doing a numerical compare on an empty variable
