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 subsystem (virgl) isn't supported yet.
- If you are connecting a MIPI camera module, the factory Camera app may not work properly. But the camera should be fully functional within the Chromium browser.
