You're thinking of the previous ARC solution that used NaCl and Arc Welder to convert apks. In this case, the Android container contents is not opensourced. They might or might not be down the road, it hasn't been decided on yet.

RK3288 from Rockchip is in several of the Chromebooks that are currently on the market, including Chromebook Flip and the ASUS Chromebit. They perform quite well there if I may say so, when a proper amount of effort has been put into the so

It also makes the assumption that it's a little-endian system. On a big-endian system, the high order byte of the timestamp would be modified, which would probably be too obvious.

Nvidia hasn't submitted any platform patches, nor device tree contents, for mainline yet. Nearly all the drivers carry over just fine between 32- and 64-bit, and they've been actively moving a bunch of the little glue code out of

Neither are any of the alternatives, really. The Jetson TK1 is a great little board, and it's significantly faster than the original ARM Chromebook (4x2.3GHz Cortex-A15 vs 2x1.7GHz). It also has a fan, so it should stay cool under prol

The Samsung Chromebook is a fanless machine, relying on cooling from the ambient air around it. Having to remove the lid switch to allow the machine to power on with the lid closed should have been a pretty strong signal of this. Since they
