Guest owenoliver1 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Just wondering about the tegra two being a little powerhouse can we get chromium os working on it? just seems like the net step then we have android 2.2/2.3 and now 3.0 Ubuntu working like a charm can we get the final thing chromium os working? http://trimslice.com/web/chromium-os-on-trim-slice They did on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest add.thebad Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I dont think their should be any reason why not. chromium is opensource so i suppose you could build for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vansphone Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I put Chrome OS on a USB stick and booted an old laptop to Chrome just to see what it is like. Personally I think it will take a little getting use too but the concept is very interesting. I assume the Vega will not boot from a USB stick? I stuck the Chrome USB stick in the Vega and booted, predictably, nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuck the Chrome USB stick in the Vega and booted, predictably, nothing happened. It needs to be compiled for ARM to function. It's possible but will likely require a lot of work to get it working. Also, I'm not sure how well graphics would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope wont run from the usb stick which sucks Would need to be compiled for nvflashing The reason it wouldnt work is becuase we got arm thats for x86 thats all Edited May 10, 2011 by owenoliver1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a case of specifying where you're booting to. Zeb Edited May 10, 2011 by Zebrahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible to make a Vega dual boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general terms how would you instruct the Vega to boot from the SD card. Would it be possible to make a Vega dual boot? Well it's not strictly dual booting. What has been done with linux ports is to extract the linux fs to the memory stick, then create a new boot image which boots to that memory stick partition. It is dual boot in the sense that I can flash my linux boot image, reboot, and run linux; flash my android image, reboot, and run android. If you look for linux projects, you'll find some more information about it. If you wanted a ROM on your SD card, this would probably be a fair bit more difficult, you'd have to partition it just right etc, but none the less, I SUPPOSE (big suppose), it COULD (in theory) be done (although I wouldn't recommend it, it's just as easy to boot to clockwork and flash).

Guest newbe5 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) I remember speaking to Hexxeh a while back and I'm sure he had ChromeOS booted and working on the Vega, but I'm not sure he ever released it? Might be worth asking him no Twitter. newbe5 Edited May 10, 2011 by newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore me I'm drunk :-P (Seriously, I just re-read it and I agree it's not hilarious but I won't delete it so I can cringe tomorrow :-P) In more sober terms, I'd love to see anything you can all get running on this device.

I would attempt to compile the source and get it run if it wasn't for the lack of a Vega (will be getting it in July). I do suggest someone try it, it has a slight chance of being successful if they know what they're doing. Not reading too much into it, really. Would love the option but still wouldn't use it.

Guest Hexxeh Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I bought a Vega just to do this. I have builds that will run on the Vega, but they're missing graphical acceleration. TrimSlice have access to private nVidia files we don't, and so they can get it running easily. I could fix the HW accel easily with those files. If TrimSlice will share (hint: they won't, they can't), we could get it rocking on the Vega too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus christ seriously that's awesome im sure if you asked nicely you could kang it from the 3.0 rom they got Hardware acceleration going in 1 day but no wifi can't be to hard i sohuldn't think but isn't it device sepcific?

Guest owenoliver1 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hexxeh just wondering is there any way you could relase the file as it is so maybe someone else could have a play aka corvus and newbe5 who have done loads of other stuff between the three of you anything could happen and im sure once its here the ports will begin :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much that can be done until we have updated drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hexxeh, try speaking to HomerSp of TeamVillain. He got HW Acceleration working HoneyComb to use on our most recent builds. newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much that can be done until we have updated drivers. im no proven dev but can you release it on here if not just to toy about with and maybe find a dev to do it for you theres a lot of people who are amazed by whats being done and im sure between here and irc we can get it going fast as hell :unsure: btw how do you put it on the tablet nvflash or .zip? and are you still making nighty's for the vega or have one old one?
