I note that the depthcharge-tools author attempted to get it into Debian, in the process giving the standard Debian installer support for booting on Chromebook stock firmware and creating Debian installations that boot with the Chromebook stock firmware. Looking at the RFS it seems that more work is needed on the packaging. I suggest that if anyone is interested in getting this work into Debian then they could offer Alper Nebi Yasak their assistance. https://bugs.debian.org/950687 https://bugs.debian.org/950718 PS: IMO when possible stock firmware should always be overwritten with libre firmware packaged by the distro. Debian doesn't yet have a coreboot package, but there is some work in progress: https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Open https://bugs.debian.org/381727 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
