ChromeBox CN60 - bookwormpup64 10.0.8 works fine

Post by Zimpler »

Running Bookworm BookwormPup64 10.0.8 on two different versions of the circa 2015/16 Google Chromebox CN60 models. (One has the Intel I7) Everything works.

Boxes were placed into Dev-Mode, the internal old EOL chromeos wiped, and did not have to use the Mr. Chromebox firmware, just used the standard dev setup. Enabled USB boot (which also enables the SDcard to boot from too), and legacy-mode. Puppy rocks on these machines!

Questions

  • Is your pipewire audio working on this platform?

  • Are you able to connect it to a TV over HDMI as the end-device for video?

  • is the audio over HDMI via its end-device's speakers?

In the past, I have run Chrome Flex without issues over HDMI on an out-of-support Chromebox. Last I checked with its owner, the ChromeOS updates are continuing.
