Chromium OS build for Raspberry Pi
We have done extensive refactoring and optimisations over the past few months. Beginning from this release, we will be producing more end-user friendly Chromium OS builds with the intention to be used on a daily basis. Releases going forward will be equipped with more enhancements and optimisations (thanks to the work we have done with FydeOS), yet still have the Chromium OS livery to keep the experience as close to vanilla as possible.
This r2 release is a maintenance release aiming to fix a few known glitches for the previous release with r86. Details below:
Highlights in this release
- Adds support for Pi400 with working wifi
- Fixed HDMI sound issue - Monitor/TV with built-in speakers connected via HDMI should have sound on boot
- Fixed issues of CJK IME not working
Known issues
- No tty console support: if you need to access shell, use Crosh shell (press
ctrl+alt+t) instead. Do not pressctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3, or it'd result in a non-recoverable state. - No support for OS sleep, or it'd result in a non-recoverable state. Therefore it's necessary to install Keep Awake extension and always set it to Sunny Mode.
- The CJK IMEs are basic browser extensions that come with vanilla Chromium OS, not the ones shipped with Chrome OS. It's advisable to use Google Input Tools extension.
- Boot from USB is still unsupported - this image can only be booted from microSD.
- The initial boot time takes longer, this is expected.
- To enable Linux(beta) you'll need at least 2GB of RAM and 16GB of microSD capacity. It's only been tested on Raspberry Pi 4B with 4BG RAM.
- Hardware-accelerated graphics for Linux(beta) (virgl) isn't supported yet.
