Revision as of 17:37, 9 February 2016
In order to install and run GalliumOS, your ChromeOS device needs firmware with Legacy Boot capability. This feature is typically provided by SeaBIOS, and included in coreboot.
Some Chromebooks and Chromeboxes have Legacy Boot enabled in the default factory firmware. Other models require a firmware update to add or enable the feature, and unfortunately some models will not work at all.
In general, ChromeOS devices fall into categories by the core architecture of their CPU:
- Intel Haswell', Broadwell, Bay Trail, and Sandy/Ivy Bridge Chromebooks and Chromeboxes are supported by GalliumOS
- Intel Braswell models are brand new and have not seen any testing at all yet
- Intel Pineview models are not supported: they do not ship with compatible firmware, and custom firmware is not presently available
- ARM models are not supported: they do not ship with compatible firmware, and custom firmware is not presently available
The table below lists all ChromeOS devices ever produced, and the vital details regarding their ability to support GalliumOS. If you find any errors or omissions, please let us know!
If you run into any issues not covered here, please check our issue tracker and submit a bug report.
Firmware updates for many devices are available from John Lewis or Matt Devillier.
Additionally, some devices can support dual-boot (GalliumOS alongside ChromeOS) either with stock firmware or with updated firmware. See chrx for more details.

- Pineview models do not ship with compatible firmware, and custom firmware is not available at this time. See Support/Pineview.
- ARM models do not ship with compatible firmware, and custom firmware is not available at this time. See Support/ARM.
- Sandy/Ivy Bridge models, see Support/SandyIvy.
- Haswell models are well-supported. See Support/Haswell.
- Broadwell models are well-supported. See Support/Broadwell.
- Bay Trail models are well-supported in 1.0beta2 and later. See Support/BayTrail.
- Braswell models are new and not well-supported. See Support/Braswell.
- Dual-Booting with ChromeOS is possible where the factory firmware supports SeaBIOS, or the custom firmware installs SeaBIOS without removing ChromeOS boot functionality. Currently, dual-boot systems must be installed with chrx.
- Text Mode: The factory firmware of this model fails to display text-mode output, so messages printed to screen during the early boot process will be invisible. This can be functional, but very difficult to debug if problems arise. This bug will hopefully be patched in future firmware versions (either from the factory or via ChromeOS update); for now, custom firmware is the only resolution.
- HiDPI: This model has a 2560x1700 display. GalliumOS (Xfce, Gtk2, xfwm4) does not support HiDPI at this geometry, so display resolution will be limited.
- SAMUS (Google Pixel, 2015) has known issues with internal audio.
- PANTHER/ZAKO (ASUS Chromebox / 2014, HP Chromebox / 2014) have a broken factory legacy boot payload that fails to initialize the USB3 ports; custom firmware is the only resolution. See also Installing/Panther.
