Summary | 0002112: Bootable image for Samsung Chromebook ARM 13" XE503C32 and 11.6" XE503C12 | ||||
Description | Samsung Chromebook ARM 13" model number XE503C32 code name Peach Pi and 11.6" model XE503C12 code name Peach Pit, nv-uboot for both models is located here http://linux-exynos.org/dist/chromebook/ kernel.its for Peach Pi - http://linux-exynos.org/dist/chromebook/peach-pit/kernel.its unfortunately the only Kernel source I could find for these models is 3.8, please try to build an image | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | create platform image | ||||
unfortunately i stepped into this tarpit too. |
|
I successfully installed Kali on my Samsung ChromeBook 2 ARM, everything works although the touchpad required some tweaking via the synaptics application. |
|
I'm going to be releasing an image soon that will support the 13", and it should work with the 11" as well, however I don't have that hardware so I can't test that one. |
|
can you share the kernel compile howto I haven't been able to make my compiled kernels to boot |
|
I pushed the script to Github the other day. I'm still writing up the quick docs (it's written, I'm just making sure all of the Kali on ARM docs follow the same format and have the same style URL) and then the image itself will be pushed. Due to u-boot not quite working properly as a coreboot payload, we use the "old" style of the first partition having the kernel written to it, and the rootfs being on partition 2. It works well though. |
|
I'm sorry - I misspoke on the last part - u-boot on Peach seems to regenerate the root partition incorrectly is what causes the non-booting issue. I've not tracked down the best way to go about having it regenerate it correctly, but since we pass it, I'm not even sure why it's attempting to in the first place. Basically it's regenerating the root=UUID=$random_uuid each time, and I'm not sure why, but at least here, it wasn't even generating it to any of the partitions from my microSD card. Until I have sufficient time to actually track it down and look at their u-boot sources, this is a decent (imo) workaround. |
|
i'm willing to do the tests for you if you want on my chromebook to make it work ... i want to boot it from the SD not using crouton |
|
wireless modules included with Kali 2.0 does not allow monitor mode, This driver uses the kernel's mac80211 subsystem and is compatible with the 88W8897 chipset exists in the XE503C32 (Peach Pi) Chromebook I don't know about others, perhaps wireless modules are the same (probable) |
|
i have the Peach Pit one. Do you want me to try on mine or extract any datA? |
|
These kinds of conversations are better for the forums than the bug tracker. Please move the conversation there. We have an image that works on the Chromebook2 now. |
