Kudos to Google for building this one, but I've gotta wonder what drove the decision to use Rockchip. I'll be very interested if firmware flashing tools / kernel sources become available for this.
- sowbug 11y agoIt's the same RK3288 chip as the one in the ASUS Chromebook Flip and Hisense Chromebook. All three devices are low priced. It's likely that price drove the decision to try Rockchip.
- voltagex_ 11y agoRight, turns out my Rockchip knowledge is very outdated. Nothing on eLinux.org about RK3288 which is a bit of a worry.
- pgeorgi 11y agoIt's veyron_mickey, supported by upstream coreboot (https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/tree/master/src/mainboard/google/veyron_mickey https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/tree/master/src/mainboa...) As for Linux, other veyron devices (that's the RK3288 family of Chrome OS systems) are already supported in upstream (look for veyron on http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/ http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/), so I expect that this will follow as soon as the Linux development process allows.
