Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
(2021-11-16, 21:02)kpoman Wrote: Ok, I will try this when I get home tonight.  Thanks for the help.  I know your steps are general to keep it simple but I have a few questions:

1.  boot a Linux USB (Ubuntu, GalliumOS, etc) - How do I get the Chromebox to boot to the USB stick?  Do I press ESC at boot?
press ESC when prompted. If not prompted, USB stick not detected, try another stick/another port
Quote:2.  run my Firmware Utility Script - Once I have booted from either Unbuntu or Gallium, I open a Terminal window and use the following script: cd; curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh  Correct?
correct
Quote:3. flash the UEFI firmware - Is this option #2 (Install/Update UEFI (Full ROM) Firmware)?
the options vary based on device and installed firmware. Install/Update Full ROM firmware is correct
Quote:5. Install LibreELEC from USB - Same question as in Step 1 - How do I boot from USB stick?
Press ESC when prompted on boot splash, select USB device from Boot Menu option
Quote:What happens to the actual ChromeOS?  Is it overwritten?  Is this a standalone install of LibreELEC?  Sorry for all of the Newbie questions.  Thanks in advance for your help!
Once you install LibreELEC to the internal SSD, ChromeOS will be overwritten. This is a standalone setup. You can still run ChromeOS from USB/external SSD via Brunch
