Re: [cros-discuss] Chrome OS on Allwinner A10 Chipset

[Steve Pirk]

Are you building your own image, or getting a pre-built one? I am pretty sure you would have to build a board overlay custom to the A10 chip. It is an ARM Cortex A8, so you might be able to find a generic AR build that will work.

Hi Steve,

Yes it is 1.2ghz Cortex A8 ARM Core and it is for a Mini XPlus box running Android 4.0.4 but it can boot from SD and I was hoping to add Chrome OS to the SD - I get the .img from chromeos.hexxeh.net

Check out ArnoldTheBat's pre-built images. The ones labeled CARMOS are Arm builds and might work on the A10.

Hey JV

Did you end up getting Chromium to work on your A10?

I'm looking at getting hackberry - https://www.miniand.com/products/Hackberry%20A10%20Developer%20Board and ChromiumOS would be a perfect fit for it

Cheers
