IntroductionWelcome to Chromium OS. This document serves as a quick start guide to installing your own Chromium OS image on a device. For more detailed information, or if steps in this quick start guide don't work for you, please refer to the Chromium OS Developer's Guide. PrerequisitesYou should have
sudo apt-get install git-core gitk git-gui subversion curl lvm2 thin-provisioning-tools python-pkg-resources python-virtualenv python-oauth2client Get the Source (full version) Create a directory to hold the source, " cd ${SOURCE_REPO} repo init -u https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest.git # Optional: Make any changes to .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml before syncing repo sync Build Chromium OS (full version) At this point, you’ll have to know the export BOARD=amd64-generic ${BOARD}This will take a long time the first time as it sets up your build environment. Subsequent invocations will take much less time. Finally, with all the packages built, we are ready to build an image that can be installed on your device. To do so run:cros_sdk -- ./build_image --board= ${BOARD}Now copy this image onto a usb drive. Insert the usb stick you’d like to use and run:
cros flash --board= ${BOARD} usb://This will prompt you for which usb device you’d like to use. (Note that auto-mounting of USB devices should be turned off as it may corrupt the disk image while it's being written.) Install Chromium OS on your Device (full version)Now you’re ready to install this image on your device. You’ll need to setup your device to boot from USB.
With that done, hit Ctrl+Alt+Back (F2). At the prompt type chronos and install using the following command.
/usr/sbin/chromeos-install Next steps
