Hi Matt. Regarding what we've talked about before:
Could you detail how to extract the vpd from a running standalone bios and inject said vpd into an existing bios/firmware backup file? I want to convert from standalone to dual boot without losing my unique device information (that is vital to receive ChromeOS updates among other things?) I only created a backup bios for one of my 2 HPs, as the wiki didn't make it clear that there were unique device information embedded in the bios.
Edit: Oh and I guess I need to extract the GBB too, since that is where the HWID is located?
I found this post: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1745897
Could you verify this works, and that it should work from Kodibuntu? I'm no stranger to messing around, but I just want to be 100% sure that I don't brick the Chromebox.
