Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
Hello matt and all,

I have an Asus Chromebox-M036U (intel haswwel celeron 2955U @ 1.40GHz)
I installed with your ez-setup in april 2015

I have run it with openelec and now I have a debian jessie with kodi 15.2 from backports

Under both OSes
* some video playback may stutter a bit (you never kown if the problem comes from the box or from a bad encoding of the video)
* some rare times, I can hear the fan starting

I noticed in the release history some upgrades of the video bios and a tweak on fan speeds tresholds.
There are the seabios and coreboot updates as well.

2015-06-04
------------------------------------------------------------------
- tweaked fan speeds/temp thresholds for coreboot firmware for Haswell ChromeBoxes
2015-06-10
------------------------------------------------------------------
- updated video BIOS for Haswell ChromeBoxes
2016-04-18
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Update VBIOS to v1040 on hsw/bdw Chromeboxes

You recommend "if it's not broken, don't fix it" and I am always a bit worried when it comes to flashing a box.
Do you think it is worth the trouble upgrading my box, and btw, is cbox-firmware-update.sh the right script to use and can it be done from a ssh shell?
