Open hexdump0815 opened 2 years ago
The trackpad worked with https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/tag/230218-01 using the jammy image right out of the box. :)
i'm happy to hear this - maybe the newer kernel in this image helped
The touchscreen works - tested with the 8gb version
For my device the trackpad works only every other boot. I can observe trackpad issues sometimes during one of my fresh installs.
my command to install every time i try again:
sudo dd if=chromebook_kukui-aarch64-jammy.img bs=1M of=/dev/sd(X)
I would want to know if there is any issue or a detection problem I don't know about when running this command consecutively on a sd card.?
After observing the trackpad working, then not working every other boot for a few times, I got this after the boot phase:
I can no longer boot into the image and have to wipe it.
I don't know if that would happen on emmc, I have not tried it yet and I don't know if I can do that without a suzqable. @hexdump0815 You have mentioned earlier in the readme if I run out of battery I may lose the data, that is not a problem, but I don't know how I can write to emmc?
I usually expand root partition after with the script in /scripts
.
@Zant12 - thanks a lot for the feedback ... for installing onto emmc please have a look at https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/blob/main/doc/install-to-emmc-on-arm-chromebooks.md ... the errors you get look like problems with the usb storage device, maybe try some other one
Thanks! I flashed to emmc (the simple dd method), and Im not seeing any of those previous issues. Installed like this:
./expandrootfs > sudo apt update && upgrade & reboot > install & make timeshift backup > install build tools > install latest mesa drivers
Thanks for letting me know about the sd/card usb, I have no sd card reader actually on this variant so I used a cheap sd reader device like this which has better ergonomics so I dont knock out my usb stick when carrying the chromebook. I think this is the cause of my problems.
I don't see any of those issues I mentioned previously after a few reboots. Thanks for everything, great guide! I found the "chromebook arm" github page by googling, so I'm unfamilar with previous iterations of the project and only usually familar with balena etcher. That does work too.
Eventually found out how to increase the size, would it be ok to add that too in the "chromebook arm" page?
it looks like the touchpad problems depends on the actual hardware version: i just tried the above mentioned working 230218-01 image on a cozmo here and it does not work ... so touchpad might work on some systems currently and not on others ...
I have been daily driving the laptop on the emmc all this time, and really love how the battery lasts for such a long time. Even if I don't plug it in for a few days it retains it's charge in suspend.
I hope to report some bugs i encountered in case it help you improve the images.
It's all rare bugs though
notes on cozmo running 5.19.1:
