Thanks Steven,

Fixed the wiki.

Hopefully the image was not corrupted on download, and my apologies
for not providing a checksum before.
Here you go:

sha256sum    f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz
723647155e51f94d0c9a20f0f1f44d6c375cb06d23c459241d38508b252e48f9
f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz

The checksum verified as correct.

Beyond that you might try to fix the sdcard from inside ChromeOS.

1. boot into ChromeOS.
2. type: CTRL + ALT + T to open a shell.
3. Inside the shell type: "shell" and "sudo su -" to reach a
privileged bash prompt
4. Run the setup script on the sdcard:
     # bash /media/removable/rootfs/root/setup.bash

I ran the script manually.  I got one failure message about not
being able to access /dev/mmcblk1 (error code = 2, ENOENT).

This appears to be caused by the device node not being present
in /media/removable/rootfs.

If I do:

	mknod /media/removable/rootfs/dev/mmcblk1 b 179 48
	chmod ugo+rw /media/removable/rootfs/dev/mmcblk1

then the script gives error 13 instead (EACCES).  I also get a
message that I need to be root.  However, "id" shows that I am
root.  So something about the chroot appears to be dropping the
permissions.

Regardless, the script continues to run, and at the end I am
able to boot into F19 via ^U.  So the error is not fatal.

This will copy over the ChromeOS 3.4 kernel plus modules to the sdcard.

Hopefully that works.
If not, well... try to find me on IRC and I'll walk you through some
more comprehensive troubleshooting.

Samsung Chromebook featuring ARM Exynos dual core A15 processor.


Thanks for doing that!


The initial release is based on MATE desktop environment.
Expect to see KDE, XFCE, LXDE, and SUGAR to land in the next few days.


Exact steps:
(assume the sdcard is /dev/sdz)

# fetch the remix image
wget http://parasense.fedorapeople.org/f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz

# write the image to sdcard
sudo xzcat f19-chromebook-MATE.img.xz > /dev/sdz


The web page at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F19/Remixes

has a typo in the above command - it is missing the .xz in the
source file name.  The web page is also missing the 'sudo' on
the various commands.


# resize the rootfs partition
sudo sgdisk -p -a8192 -e -d5 -n5:0:0 -t5:8300 -c5:'ROOTFS' -p /dev/sdz

# resize the rootfs ext4 filesystem
sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdz5
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdz5

#THE END


For more details please visit our REMIX site at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F19/Remixes


Please note this is an unofficial REMIX image.
For support, you can find me (masta) in #fedora-arm on IRC


I tried this with two different SD cards.  In both cases, when
I type ^U, I hear a "double beep" from uboot and it refuses to
boot from the SD card.

I am able to enter ^D and get into developer mode, so I don't
think there is anything wrong with my chromebook.
