Edit :

- Transferring a file from the usb key (3.0) to my windows 7 directly it transfer at ~35mb/sec. It's a cheap usb3 I guess but I should get more then ~15 mb/sec while transferring from the chromebox to the pc ?

copying a ~500MB file between my Win7 PC and a USB3 stick connected to the ChromeBox yielded ~92MB/sec to the flash stick and ~55MB/s from the flash stick

I'm using standalone Fedora 20 + XBMC. Everything work flawlessly except one thing - suspend/resume.
In general suspend/resume works but it just takes a while for resume from sleep - about 3-4 minutes (tested with Fedora, Ubuntu, XBMCbuntu). When the box is in sleep state and I press a keyboard button it wakes up, shows xbmc screen, but freezes for next 3-4 minutes, than releases and I can continue to use it. But after that the box won't sleep again. Funny that cold boot to XBMC (with Fedora) on the box is superfast (about 7-8 seconds - a way faster than with Ubuntu), so I would prefer switching off the box over putting it to sleep, but unfortunately it won't wake up on WOL from shutdown.
Does anybody else experience such issues?
... and sorry for my English.

Any idea of how to get it to work?

Make sure the device you are using has a single fat32 partition on it. The script isn't currently robust enough to handle more exotic setups. I'll double check things later tonight just to be sure nothing is amiss

I will definitely check and try a few other devices. Thanks

do me a favor, put the box to sleep (suspend), wake it up (via keyboard), then run from a terminal:

Code:

dmesg > dmesg.txt

and email me the txt file so I can see what's going on. I'll likely need to have you run other commands, but that's a good start

I put the box to sleep at 20:22, waked it up at 20:24 and the box became responsive again at 20:26+.

Usb sticks:
1) can I use usb2 or do I need usb3 stick?
2) size of stick 4, 8, or 16 G?

keyboard:
1) use a wired or wireless (usb2) to flash and install other OS?

memory upgrade;
1) specs for an additional 2G, what voltage for ddr3-1600?
