Good Morning,
I was wondering if there is a preferred Single Board Computer that works well for ChromiumOS use - preferably one with an existing overlay (wishful thinking). The Raspberry Pi 3 does not seem powerful enough for most use cases and searching on Amazon reveals a plethora of options. Here are a few that I was able to dig up:
- Asus Tinkerboard
- RockChip RK3288 Quad Core SoC clocked at 1.8 GHZ
- 2 GB RAM
- Mali T764 GPU
- Banana Pi BPI M2
- Quad Core ARM Cortex A7 (Allwinner R40 @ 1.5 GHZ)
- 2 GB RAM
- Mali-400 GPU
- Miqi ARM Board
- RockChip RK3288 Quad Core SoC clocked at 1.8 GHZ
- 2 GB RAM
- Mali-T764 GPU
- ODROID-C2
- Amlogic S905 SoC ARM® Cortex®-A53 (ARMv8) @ 1.5 GHZ
- 2 GB RAM
- Mali-450 GPU
- Orange Pi Plus
- Quad Core ARMv7 Allwinner H3 at 1.3GHz
- 2 GB RAM
- Mali-400MP2
Thoughts?

we don't have overlays for any of those SBCs currently, so looking at the SoCs, we've never done a Chromebook w/Allwinner or Amlogic. we have done a bunch using RK3288 though on linux-3.14.

that isn't to say you couldn't make it work, just that you'd most likely need to do more custom kernel work for the non-RockChip systems.

Ok, so the TinkerBoard seems like it is the best candidate - at least it should take less effort to get up and running

Hmmmmmm.
I was thinking if it is posable to get chromiumos working on an SBC then it would be easy to get it working on a tablet.
as one of the guys who I'm doing my chromiumos build with was wondering that. I wouldn't mind helping out with it as well as we have a spare tablet at school laying around what we could do some testing on.

If you can find a board featuring the RK3299 instead of the RK3288 you'll be better off. The 99 is approximately twice as fast as the 88, which is the older generation chip.

When I see that "2 GB RAM", yes it's 'a joke'. The computer world, is
so far, for the pionners, that it is "laughable".

That was my thought, if you are 'interested in'.

we've also done some Chromebooks using RK3399 on linux-4.4, so you'd also have that advantage of a newer kernel :)

Sorry about the brain-typo... Yes 3399, not 3299.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be too many development boards that have the 3399 - I cannot justify the $200+ boards for this specific project, Ideally I would need something in the $75 range.

It's not about dvpt, but about 'the joy behind it', if you don't have
that, you will produce 'yogurts' products/and softwares with 'no magic
in it'.
it's why those boards 'are poorly designed'. then, if you get some
'innovative board', you will have to follow a 'non followed road' and
have to rely on a smaller community to develop meaning individuals.

Hi Mike,
Possible to share the firmware link, how to flash RK3399 board to support Chrome OS. And is it developer version?
