#Chrultrabook people, I have a #Chromebook and a #Chromebox that run #MrChromebox' #coreboot and I would like to update the firmware.
Currently I use a live USB with #LinuxMint XFCE, as it is easy to use and insecure enough for it to work.
The tools need access to read and write the firmware, which is quite deep.
I would like to enable that support on my main #NixOS system, at least sometimes, but don't know what is missing. Same on vanilla #Fedora btw, doesnt work there either.
The iomem=relaxed option is not enough, do you know what else is needed?
For NixOS and Chromebook support I found this amazing repo, but it is quite complex:

How hard would it be to adapt an SD card to fit into an eMMC?
+ both use the same protocol
+ would make life easier for users who don't have microSD slots on their phones, #postmarketos / #mobian / #chrultrabook developers and those who wish to change OS without reflashing
- high-capacity cards, like the 500GB one in my illustration, would probably confuse the bootloaders of most devices
- slight concerns about signal integrity
Same goes for actively adapting SATA/NVME to UFS.
Not an electronics engineer, just some guy with a dream and a crude drawing.

Got Alpine BusyBox/Linux working. It's very fast on my poor hardware. Sway and Waybar are using almost completely default settings.

That was it (disconnecting the battery from the mb side not the other way around). Now I'm rocking #fedora 40 with #coreboot on the Asus CX5 #chromebook that I got cheap from Ebay with a broken screen. Thanks to #Chrultrabook and #mrchromebox 💾🏆 Saved from ending up on an e-waste pile, I imagine. Fedora is screaming fast on this machine too 🤩
