Chromium OS build for Raspberry Pi

release highlights

  • Optimized performance for enhanced efficiency and responsiveness
  • r114 release with Chromium OS updated to release-R114-15437.B

Known issues

  • Only supports Raspberry Pi 4B, Pi 400 and the latest Raspberry Pi 5; choose the corresponding release image accordingly.
  • Linux subsystem will not work on this release - if you need to use Linux subsystem, check out openFyde for Raspberry Pi instead.
  • No support for OS sleep, or it'd result in a non-recoverable state. Therefore it's necessary to install Keep Awake extension and always set it to Sunny Mode.
  • The CJK IMEs are basic browser extensions that come with vanilla Chromium OS, not the ones shipped with Chrome OS. It's advisable to use Google Input Tools extension.
  • The initial boot time takes longer; this is expected.
  • Hardware-accelerated graphics for Linux subsystem (virgl) isn't supported yet.
  • If you are connecting a MIPI camera module, the factory Camera app may not work properly. The camera should be fully functional within the Chromium browser.

Chromium OS build for Raspberry Pi

Bug fixes in this release

  • Fixed Linux apps with GUI does not display properly
  • Fixed chrome://flags does not display properly
  • Fixed "Linux files" under Files app does not display files and throws an error
  • Fixed Enterprise enrollment error during OOBE:
    • Caveat: Enterprise enrollment is most likely to fail on the very first boot of this image. If it does fail, power off your Pi and power on again, OOBE would resume at the login page, retry the Enterprise enrollment process and it should allow you to enrol
  • Fixed annoying Bluetooth audio device stuttering issue 🎉
  • Fixed tty console issue, now it's ok to press ctrl + alt + F1/F2/F3 to enter tty shell (Crosh shell also works if you prefer)
  • Fixed CPU temperature does not display properly in the Diagnostics tool
  • Fixed issues with the OS semantic version number

Other notable items:

  • Optimised hardware-accelerated VP8/VP9 video stream decoding, you should now have a smoother YouTube video (supports 1080p@30) playback with much lower CPU usage
  • Made nano editor available for all shell users (happy days, vim haters 😑).
  • Added edit-pi-config shortcut for quicker access to config.txt in the EFI partition. To use it, enter sudo edit-pi-config with chronos account in shell and you will be presented with editable config.txt in nano.
