Developer Mode

Caution: Modifications you make to the system are not supported by Google, may cause hardware, software or security issues and may void warranty.

Introduction

Enabling Developer mode is the first step to tinkering with your Chromebox. With Developer mode enabled you can do things like poke around on a command shell (as root if you want), install Chromium OS, or try other OS's. Note that Developer mode turns off some security features like verified boot and disabling the shell access. If you want to browse in a safer, more secure way, leave Developer mode turned OFF. Note: Switching between Developer and Normal (non-developer) modes will remove user accounts and their associated information from your Chromebox.

Entering

To invoke Recovery mode, you insert a paper clip and press the RECOVERYBUTTON (just above the kensington lock) and press thePowerbutton. Release the RECOVERY BUTTON after a second.

To enter Dev-mode you first invoke Recovery, and at the Recovery screen press Ctrl-D (there's no prompt - you have to know to do it). It will ask you to confirm by pressing the RECOVERY BUTTON again.

Dev-mode works the same as always: It will show the scary boot screen and you need to press Ctrl-D or wait 30 seconds to continue booting.

USB Boot

By default, USB booting is disabled. Once you are in Dev-mode and have a root shell (Ctrl-Alt-F2), you can run:

and reboot once to boot from USB drives with Ctrl-U.

Legacy Boot

This device includes the SeaBIOS firmware which supports booting images directly like a legacy BIOS would. Note: the BIOS does not provide a fancy GUI for you, nor is it easy to use for beginners. You will need to manually boot/install your alternative system.

Like USB boot, support for this is disabled by default. You need to get into Dev-mode first and then run:

The essential luther vandross zip. Oct 25, 2014 - Collection of Luther Vandross Luther Vandross was one of the most successful R&B artists of the 1980s and '90s. Not only did he score a series.

and reboot once to boot legacy images with Ctrl-L.

Leaving

To leave Dev-mode and go back to normal mode, just follow the instructions at the scary boot screen. It will prompt you to confirm.

If you want to leave Dev-mode programmatically, you can run crossystem disable_dev_request=1; reboot from a root shell. There's no way to enter Dev-mode programmatically, and just seeing the Recovery screen isn't enough - you have to use the three-finger salute which hard-resets the machine first. That's to prevent a remote attacker from tricking your machine into dev-mode without your knowledge.

Troubleshooting

Legacy Boot Doesn't Work

Sometimes it's possible to break the SeaBIOS install in the flash (sometimes doing innocuous things like tweaking the GBB flags). If you do get into such a situation:

• Check that dev_boot_legacy is set to 1 when you run crossystem
• If it isn't, then see the normal Legacy Boot section above
• if it is, then see below

You can safely reset the copy of SeaBIOS in your flash by running (as root):

Running Chromium OS

Before you start fiddling with your own builds it is strongly recommend to create a recovery USB stick or SD card. As long as you don't disable hardware write protect on the system & EC firmware, you can get your machine back into working order by entering Recovery Mode and plugging in your recovery image. You can create a recovery image from Chrome OS by browsing to chrome://imageburner or follow instructions for other OS on the Chrome OS help center site.

You can build and run Chromium OS on your Asus Chromebox (versions R32 and later). Follow the quick start guide to setup a build environment. The board name for the Asus Chromebox is 'panther'. Build an image and write it to a USB stick or SD card.

To boot your image you will first need to enable booting developer signed images from USB (or SD card). Switch your machine to Developer mode and get to a shell by either via VT2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and logging in as root or by logging in as a user (or guest mode), starting a 'crosh' shell with Ctrl+Alt+t, and typing 'shell'. Now run 'sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1' and reboot 'sudo reboot'.

Plug your USB stick or SD card in and on the scary 'OS Verification is OFF' screen hit Ctrl+u to boot from external media. If all goes well you should see a 'Chromium OS' logo screen. If you want to install your build to the SSD, open a shell and type 'sudo /usr/sbin/chromeos-install'. Note: This will replace EVERYTHING on your SSD. Use a recovery image if you want to get back to a stock Chrome OS build.

Firmware

This device uses coreboot to boot the system. You can find the source in the Chromium OS coreboot git tree in the firmware-panther-4920.24.B branches.

Can You Install Windows On Asus Chromebox

Installing Windows (USB) on Chromebooks with limited <16GB on-board storage

WinToUSB (also called Windows To USB) allows you to install and run a fully-functional Windows operating system on an external hard drive or USB flash drive.

Stuff you'll need:

• A fast USB flash drive (Preferably a USB3 Portable SSD Ex: Samsung Portable SSD T1 or T3)

• Windows 10 installation ISO file

Check to see if your Chromebook model has “Full ROM firmware (UEFI)” firmware type available. https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices

If so, proceed to create a “Windows To Go” USB following the guide: http://easyuefi.com/wintousb/resource/install-windows-10-on-usb-flash-drive.html

Note: At Step 7, after you select the USB drive, a pop-up will appear asking you if you want to format it to continue, make sure tick the 'GPT for UEFI' checkbox, then click 'Yes'.

Once the USB is ready, it’s time to get your Chromebook setup using the following guide: https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html

Note: Skip 'Step 1' under the 'Install Windows from USB' section as we have already prepared the USB.
