Do I understand it correctly that after flashing the standalone firmware, I still have all my device specific information in the firmware (the 16kb vpd), but I will lose all of that once I go back to Chromeos without a real backup?
Quote:If so, would you be able to add a feature to the script to inject the current firmware information from a standalone/dual boot firmware into another backup file? (For us with more than one identical devices, but only took backup of the firmware of the first device)there's no reason why I can't, it's just a bit of work. It would only be for the standalone firmware though, nothing in the core firmware is changed in a dual boot setup, so there's nothing to restore.
Quote:And just to be clear and spoonfeeded: if you have several chromeboxes and you have no backup of the firmware, and go the generic route, all your chromeboxes will then end up with the same A0:00:BA:D0:0B:AD MAC address right?correct, which could/would cause issues if more than one is connected to the same LAN
