The Acer Chromebook 13, codenamed Big, contains an NVIDIA tegra124
processor and is similar to the Venice2 reference platform.
The keyboard, USB 2, audio, HDMI, sdcard, and emmc have been tested
and work on the 1266x768 models. The HD models haven't yet been
tested.
WiFi does not work yet, it needs at least some PMIC changes to enable
the 32k clock.
The elan trackpad is not yet functional but hopefully will be soon as
there are patches under review.
There is also an issue on reboot because the TPM isn't reset. It will
cause the stock firmware to enter recovery mode. This can be worked
around by an EC-reset, press the refresh and power keys at the same
time.

In light of v1 and the above commit message referring to this as Google
Big, shouldn't this be "google,big", "nvidia,tegra124" and optionally
"google,nyan" as secondary string, independent of the new file name?
Despite this board having been derived from Nyan, it isn't Nyan, so I
don't
think Nyan should be part of any compatible value, nor a separate
compatible
value.
"google,nyan-big" is the compatible string that the bootloader on
these devices looks for. It's also the convention we are now using
for our ARM devices, as Olof has already mentioned.
I don't understand "that the bootloader looks for"; why is the bootloader
doing anything w.r.t the compatible value in the DT that's passed to the
kernel.
The ChromeOS bootloader ("depthcharge") boots FIT images and selects
the appropriate device-tree from the image based on the compatible
string. On Big boards, it looks for "google,nyan-big". This only
becomes an issue if there are multiple device-trees in the FIT image.
If there's only a single configuration (or you chain-load U-Boot),
then the bootloader will boot with that configuration. If you build a
kernel image in the ChromiumOS environment, however, you'll end up
with multiple device-trees (all those built by the kernel config at
least) in the FIT image - this is what allows us to boot the same
binary on different boards.
This just makes me dislike FIT (and DT ABIs) even more, although I
suppose the same issue would arise if the DTBs were stored in separate
files and looked up by filename.
I have to say this sucks, because it means that a downstream bootloader
is imposing an ABI on the mainline kernel without a chance to fix things
during upstreaming. For all other boards, we've concentrated on mainline
U-Boot as the bootloader precisely so that strange behaviour of our
downstream product kernels don't force the hand of the mainline kernel
design.
Still, I suppose I have no choice but to drop my objection here.
