Chromium OS for i586

[Eduardo Monteiro]

Hi Folks 

I'd like to know if is it possible to build and i586 ARCH Chromium OS image?

Im a new Chromium OS' user and I know nothing about building images.

Another doubt is, is it possible to use Chromium OS with a touch device ?! I have a device that have a Elo Touch monitor along with it. I instaled chromium os once but the touch driver didnt worked. I know that exist a linux driver for that device.

Thanks in advance

do you really have a i586 processor ?  people have been making i686's
for over a decade at this point.

it should be possible to add an i586 overlay with an i586 toolchain,
but i can't see it being really useful considering the speed of i586's
and available memory.

Yes, I do. I have about 300 customers who use my i586. I've been using chr os and noticed that is perfect for my thinclients.

Once I instaled Chrome on my i586 running windows xp embedded and it worked perfectly ... im sure that ill have and amazing result using chromium os with it.

I'll really appreciate if I have some help to do this !

Thanks

to create a new i586-generic board:

$ cd chromiumos/src/overlays
$ cp -a overlay-x86-generic overlay-i586-generic
$ cd overlay-i586-generic
$ echo i586-pc-linux-gnu > toolchain.conf
$ echo FULL_BINHOST= > prebuilt.conf
$ vim make.conf
- edit MARCH_TUNE to match your cpu
- update VIDEO_CARDS to include the drivers you care about

then run ./setup_board --board=i586-generic && ./build_packages
--board=i586-generic
