32 bit builds are still being worked on…

These builds are an enhancement to the normal Vanilla builds in the fact they support the Broadcom STA wireless stack. Once we have had some feedback from you testers, Ill upload these builds to the devserver to allow for OTA upgrades.
As ever, please do not log issues relating to the graphics stack!

Enhancements

  • R62 Chromium Release
  • Google Drive Integration
  • Improved Wireless support due to disabling APManager
  • Broadcom STA version 6.30.223.271

Known Issues: https://github.com/arnoldthebat/chromiumos/issues

FYI: The Play Store is still not functional so don’t ask when this will work since it will be down to whether Google decide to open source it!

Play Store Enablement
The Play Store is enabled in both the builds but does not currently work. Don’t log issues therefore around this feature since I’ll be looking to review for the next build. It will ask you to apply a critical update if you click on the icon. This critical update will not work (nothing happens). I have released this for testers (and myself) to try to figure out the next steps to get this working properly.

Update 17/09/17: The Update Server is now available for OTA updates.

X86 Nightly Builds

7 Comments

Google have deprecated the x86-generic build, so with this in mind, in order to keep the builds automated, Ill be discontinuing the nightly 32 bit builds which mirror the x86-generic board.

In addition to this, I’ll shortly be changing the update server to be fully automatic for the remaining daily builds. In order to get the latest version therefore, all that will be needed is a simple ‘check for update’ from help/about within the browser.

Special and Vanilla Builds will continue to have both 32 bit and 64 bit support for the foreseeable future.

These builds are an enhancement to the normal Vanilla Builds in the fact they support the Broadcom STA wireless stack. They will also form the baseline for future Vanilla versions where additional enhancements will be introduced. These builds will eventually mirror the Special Build enhancements but without the graphics overhead.
With this in mind therefore, do not log issues relating to the graphics stack!

Special Builds will be ready ‘soon’ for people needing additional graphics support!

Please note: there is a new behaviour with the chronos user password. The password has been removed from this build and will continue to be removed for better overall security.
This means you need to use ‘chromeos-setdevpasswd’ from either shell or console to set your own password from this build onwards.

By default, this also disables SSH access so if you also need this level of access, you will need to set a separate password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’. This allows the password for dev access and SSH access to remain separate if needed.

You can also just set a password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’ and this will allow for both dev and SSH access if you need to keep the passwords the same. Do not use ‘chromeos-setdevpasswd’ if you want to keep the passwords the same.
