Your best bet is to use one of those builds and report the problem if it still exists there. Unfortunately there's nothing to be done for issues with these older builds. Also, I don't have a Braswell system to test with so hard to say if the issue is specific to it or one that affects all Intel platforms. VC-1 is known to have some issues though.

I removed write-protect screw. Inserted paperclip powered on removed paperclip screen shows "Chrome OS missing or damaged. Please insert USB stick or SD card. I went to chromeos/recovery, made a usb recovery drive, installed the OS successfully. Connected to internet, used wireless keyboard, etc. Did not sign onto Gmail account. Powered off Paperclip in Power on Paperclip out. Same message that OS is missing or damaged. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I just want to install stand alone OpenELEC and Kodi.

On the recovery screen, you need to press CTRL-D, then press the recovery button again when prompted, in order to put the box into developer mode. You don't need to actually reset the box/do the recovery process. Once in developer mode, you can open the shell prompt, download/run the script, and flash the custom/standalone firmware and create the OpenELEC install media. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/18] - rvf263 - 2016-04-19 Thanks for the response. If I understand you correctly, the error message "Damaged/missing OS" is the recovery screen and at that point I press CTL-D until I'm prompted to press the recovery button again with the clip? So I powered off the unit and did this: The unit is off, I press the recovery button with a clip and hold it, I power on the unit I take out the clip The error message damaged/missing OS appears I press CTL-D on my wireless keyboard nothing happens. It's not prompting me to do anything else. Should I be using something other than my wireless keyboard? The keyboard works when the OS connects to my wi-fi...something tells me its not connected yet when I'm pressing CTL-D.

I'm using a Logitech K400 right now, I would think that would work. Is there a cheap keyboard that is known to work for sure? I could pick it up from Staples after work in the morning. Thanks for all the help.

(tried rebooting) Using the Updating the coreboot Firmware (standalone) instructions. I have done it before on libreelec so maybe it's the new script?

In order to fix it, I edited the downloaded script and changed lines 54 and 56 from grep to grep -i to make the match case insensitive. I believe there was one other problem. One of of the supporting tools was looking for a directory that didn't exist on my openelec. I don't remember but it might have been /run/var or /run/tmp. I created that directory and the script worked. It wasn't able to read my current MAC address so I just let it use the default. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. changing it to be case-insensitive is a good idea, I'll do that. The only dir used on non-ChromeOS linux is /tmp, which should exist on all systems, so not sure what that would have been about. Some of the early 2014 firmware versions didn't persist the device-specific MAC address, so will use a default one, which isn't an issue unless you have more than one on your LAN (and are using ethernet). |
