Chromium OS build for Raspberry Pi

Upgrades and bug fixes

  • Chromium updated to 96.0.4664.*

Other notable items

  • Updated kernel version to 5.10 to align upstream Raspbian OS, included overall compatibility and performance enhancements
  • Made nano editor available for all shell users (happy days, vim haters 😑).
  • Added edit-pi-config shortcut for quicker access to config.txt in the EFI partition. To use it, enter sudo edit-pi-config with chronos account in shell and you will be presented with editable config.txt in nano.

Known issues

  • Only supports Raspberry Pi 4B & Pi 400 - images for the Raspberry Pi 3 series are released separately.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Dropped "forced kiosk mode" support for compatibility reasons. If you happen to need kiosk mode for your project, try r89 release.
