Broadwell core Intel processors are popular in recent higher-end Chromebooks.
Factory firmware support for coreboot and SeaBIOS is generally good on Broadwell models (with a few bugs), but custom firmware is also available -- see Firmware.
One firmware bug relates to video init in early boot, which prevents the display of the GRUB boot menu. This can be worked around with GRUB settings:
- Add settings to
/etc/default/grub-
GRUB_TERMINAL=console -
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
-
- Run
sudo update-grub
