Re: [Libreboot] Problems installing libreboot on C201

[Albin]

By the way, is it even necessary to run the command
"./cros-flash-replace flash.img coreboot ro-frid" on the chromebook
itself? Would it work to run it on, for example, an x86_64 device,
transfer the resulting image to the chromebook and then run "# flashrom
-p host -w flash.img"?
