Keep Linux bootable with Chromebook stock firmware
Depthcharge-Tools builds Linux kernel images in the format used by a Chromebook’s stock firmware and manages its boot partitions. With suitable distribution integration, it updates those images when the kernel changes.
Use it on the documented Samsung Chromebook Plus v1, board kevin. You need a compatible Linux kernel, device tree and developer boot setup. Debian packages include automatic hooks; Alpine and pip routes need more manual integration.
