Maybe the chromebooks, but those are more about optimizing batterylife and they likely throttle on sustained loads due to thermal design.

Question - What distro should I use for an arm-based C201p chromebook other than the default one?

Is this channel ok to ask questions about Chromebooks, or should I head into another channel ? I am having difficulties booting the USB stick on a c201, should be done with CTRL+U but it only takes me into the normal login ChromeOS window
2016-11-12
<lkcl>
and i'm currently doing an RK3288 board. the RK3288 it turns out can do up to 4GB of RAM as it's designed for ChromeBooks

GNUtoo-irssi: regarding the EC, yes i saw that project with the chromebook EC, yes they do keyboard-scanning as well. although it was useful to see i couldn't really make much sense of the organisation of the source code.
<GNUtoo-irssi>
As for the ec, the chromebooks also use another free software project

I would also add an a15 version, but don't want to dismantle my chromebook just to connect the multimeter for the measurements

zumbi: any computer running linux system and having a reasonable amount of RAM can do this, arm chromebook is not an exception

samsung arm chromebook

IMHO samsung arm chromebook is not a very good choice when trying to re-purpose it as a netbook/laptop
<RaYmAn>
yeah - I think the biggest annoyance with samsung arm chromebook is really the screen
<mnemoc>
there should be a new android nexus device, but also a new chromebook
* mnemoc
sad to not see chromeOS talks in google io this year... that means I can forget about the dreamed chromebook pixel with exynos5 octa :(

has anyone done any work on an open PBL/BL1 for the chromebook?

<libv>
Turl: i will order myself a chromebook in a few weeks
<mnemoc>
like the chromebook, but with better display :|
<libv>
i think that they might be running the chromebook exynos5 gles drivers
2013-02-16
<mnemoc>
theborger: but there is new chromebook coming, called pixel, you might want to wait and see if it's cortex-a15 aswell
<mnemoc>
theborger: imho the exynos5 chromebook is (still) unbeatable
<theborger>
so what is one of the better netbooks to buy? is the samsung chromebook good? or is there one cheaper/better?

techn_: unfortunately it's a bit of a mess, with one git repository hosted by linaro people, another one hosted by chromium people (the linaro variant oopses the kernel on chromebook)
<ssvb>
techn_: yes, I have seen that. Actually it is the driver for Mali-T604 from ARM Chromebook

fortunatelly there is a chromebook
<traeak>
sounds liek samsung chromebook might easily beat out an e450 or whatever
<L84Supper>
max77686 is also used in the chromebook for battery charging, so you could swap in a higher capacity battery

I have a cortex-a15 based chromebook sharing nfs root with my mele

Jef91|Building: just the chromebook keyboard sucks because of some missing keys, it was clearly designed as a "gadget" instead of real "computer"
<Jef91|Building>
anyone around played with the newest samsung chromebook?
2012-12-15
<L84Supper>
might be easier to just mod the chromebooks

What is the latest samsung chromebook called RaYmAn?
<antonl>
So, have samsung released the kernel sources that were used to build the chromebook kernel?
<RaYmAn>
there is uhm, a project where you download & run a script and it prepares the chromebook and installs linux
<Jef91>
hey RaYmAn do you know if there are any pre-built images for the chromebook yet?
<antonl>
Hi guys. About exynos-based chromebook: what works in linux installed that way and what doesn't? 3d, sound?

I've heard the new chromebook has a DIMM slot on it but I'm also hearing the memory's onboard
2012-11-26
<RaYmAn>
mnemoc: mm, I don't consider the chromebook a laptop at all at 11.6
<specing>
maybe if the chromebook were $150 I'd buy it
<Turl>
specing: the EC on the chromebook has source code available
<steev>
in good news, my arm chromebook should (finally) be here the 29th (i got the 3g version)
2012-11-20
<mnemoc>
but the damn chromebook was 2 weeks waiting in his house and now it has been another stuck in memphis

but where are the chromebook sources?
<ZaEarl>
they're shipping chromebooks, right? they must have published the gpl sources, right?

Google ARM netbook and now Nexus 10 tablet, will the tablet be locked down or open like the chromebook?

stuff like the chromebook on the other hand, I'd expect it did

2012-10-28

these chromebooks are actually tempting for $family
<mnemoc>
the chromebook is better idea :p
2012-10-26
<mnemoc>
just like the chromebook
<mnemoc>
the chromebook's is matte. that's nice
<RaYmAn>
mnemoc: My main concern about chromebook is whether it's fully recoverable - e.g. unbrickable
<mnemoc>
my chromebook is still in memphis :<
<RaYmAn>
well, this does look cool - though, I don't see why anyone would choose that over e.g. chromebook or nexus 10 (if true)
<mnemoc>
the price of the chromebook :p

the new chromebook explains the reluctance of Samsung to sell it's ARM soc's for competitive projects

and that my chromebook got shipped :p
2012-10-24
<RaYmAn>
you got chromebook?

entering dev mode wipes your chromebook so there's no risk

<RaYmAn>
i'm unsure whether snow or daisy is the chromebook...I guess it might be 3g vs non-3g?
<RaYmAn>
unless it's a good deal below 249$, the new samsung chromebook seems like the only real choice =P (if you live ina supported country)
<jlj>
does linux support the Exynos 5250 cpu in the new samsung arm chromebook?
<mnemoc>
grevaillot: great!, so one should be able to "repurpose" the closed libs in the exynos5 chromebook and run a normal linux system without much trouble
2012-10-18
<RaYmAn>
it's almost depressingly funny how much that chromebook looks like a macbook, lol
<RaYmAn>
but that chromebook does look very nice :)
