Hi Andy, I never did that, but I feel somehow qualified to give my 5 cents :) On 08/05/17 11:17, Andrew Wafaa wrote:

Hi,

Could someone remind me what steps are needed to get a native openSUSE kernel up on chromebooks and as such enable creating a full installable image (similar to what was done to the original Samsung Chromebook).

I'd like to create an image for the Samsung Plus (aarch64), and as it uses 4.4 I thought it would be easier to use the Leap kernel, would this be correct or should I just use the Tumbleweed one? Ideally I'd like to have this before oSC but let's see.

Samsung Plus is based on rk3399, right? Hopefully the SoC is fully supported in Leap 42.3 (AFAIK DRM patches are still missing), in the meantime you are better of with Tumbleweed. Apart from that you might consider to use u-boot instead of chromeos depthcharge. This will allow you to build a regular openSUSE image with grub. Apart from that I believe you have to fiddle with graphics, keyboard etc. I suppose the best person to ask is Alex.
