===========================

|

Libreboot currently lacks any good documentation about this, but there
|
||||
is this page which refers to Debian:
|
||||
Successful installations:
|
||||
|
||||
[Debian installation](https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C201)
|
||||
* [ArchLinuxARM on RK3399-based Chromebooks](../uboot/uboot-archlinux.md).
|
||||
* [Debian on Asus Chromebook C201](https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/C201).
|
||||
|
||||
In general, ARM-compatible distros targeting U-boot can be used. You can
|
||||
follow their instructions, once you have Libreboot up and running.
|
||||
Unsuccessful installations:
|
||||
|
||||
* [OpenBSD on Samsung Chromebook Plus XE513C24](../uboot/uboot-openbsd.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Other promising ARM-compatible distros:

title: OpenBSD Install Attempt on a Samsung Chromebook Plus

System Configuration
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware: Samsung Chromebook Plus XE513C24 (gru_kevin)
|
||||
|
||||
Libreboot: 2023-04-23
|
||||
|
||||
Operating System: OpenBSD 7.3
|
||||
|
||||
Install Media Preparation
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the OpenBSD arm64 installation instructions in the link below:
|
||||
|
||||
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/arm64/INSTALL.arm64
|
||||
|
||||
Write the install73.img file to a micro sdcard. Replace "sdcard_device" below
|
||||
with the appropriate device path on your system.
|
||||
```
|
||||
# dd if=install73.img of=/dev/sdcard_device bs=1M status=progress; sync
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Attempt
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
1. Insert the micro sdcard into the slot on the Chromebook.
|
||||
2. Power on the Chromebook.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially things looked promising as the system automatically found the OpenBSD
|
||||
EFI image on the micro sdcard and proceeded to the OpenBSD boot prompt. However
|
||||
there was a strange display issue where the first character on each row of the
|
||||
display was missing.
|
||||
|
||||
After a brief pause, the OpenBSD boot process continued. A message displayed
|
||||
indicating an error opening random.seed but continued to load the OpenBSD
|
||||
kernel. Unfortunately the system then froze indefinitely. See screen shot
|
||||
below.
