It no longer works now though running OpenElec on the chromebox. I don't think there is a stable version of OpeneElec for Jarvis out yet on their page I've been running nightlies and even Krypton nightlies.

basically now, you can see the boot up process on the 2nd display but after that it is just a blank screen.

Thanks very much for your dedication, I have used your standalone coreboot code to setup a Plex standalone server. It has been working rock solid for well for over a year.

I just picked up a new ChromeBox relatively cheap on eBay: Dell ChromeBox 3010 (Haswell i7-4600U) [Tricky]

I noticed the following in your custom coreboot firmware warning.

- Dell ChromeBox 3010 (Haswell Celeron 2955U/i3-4030U) [Tricky]

The i7-4600U processor is not listed (for Dell anyway). I was wondering if there was anyway you can add support for this specific ChromeBox? Or is it already added, just not on the list?

Thanks in advance for your time.

is there anything that a debug log would even show for this issue? not sure how i can go about trying to get it fixed.

thanks

I'm new to Kodi, and I plan to use a Chromebox as a starting point. I'd like to use it as a PVR with Openelec, tvheadend, and a SiliconDust ATSC tuner, plus a USB drive to store recordings. Ideally recording one show while watching another. I will use 1080P, via HDMI, and the SiliconDust tuner and Chromebox will be connected thru ethernet

I might also want to watch a streaming video (say, Netflix) while the PVR is recording an OTA show

Would 4Gb make any difference? The cost differential is small, but worth doing only if there's a return

As a side question: will a Chromebox have enough power to do it? I have seen even RPi2 configurations doing similar workloads, so I hope that a Chromebox would have enough horsepower...

no issues with power to do what you want. I'd go with 4GB (2x2GB) not for the extra RAM, but for the additional memory bandwidth available when running in dual channel mode

(Asus Chromebox M004U) It's running perfectly, 95% of the time I use Openelec but in system settings I always see Disk Usage 100%...is this normal? It is not affecting performance but maybe it will at some stage? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance

I have a standalone setup, so to use the ez script I boot my system up with an Ubuntu build via usb. But when I select to create the install media, it keeps saying that no usb media was detected. I've tried 3 different USB sticks in both of the front two ports, but nothing seems to be working. I've reformatted each stick trying both ntfs and fat32. Any suggestions?

(2016-03-03, 18:08)Matt Devo Wrote: you're running the EZ setup script from Ubuntu on a Chromebox, or another PC? I'm guessing ubuntu is enumerating the USB devices differently than the script is expecting. You don't really need to use the EZ setup script to create the install media, just download the disk image version, extract it, and write the .img file to the usb drive using dd. There's probably a tool to do it in the ubuntu software center if you're command-line averse.

(2016-03-04, 04:01)wongnog Wrote: [UPDATE] I tried burning the .img file to USB on my PC using Win32DiskImager, but the Chromebox does not recognize it as bootable on startup. I tried burning both the file in the wiki and from http://openelec.tv/get-openelec. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, because I've burned bootable Ubuntu builds before onto USB. Any ideas?
