I bought it from Amazon.
You're not buying the most powerful ChromeBox, but the price is good. I use it as home theater PC, to play multi touch Android games with DroidMote, to use Android apps on a big screen in desktop mode and to have all Linux apps like a normal Desktop PC. I do not know anything more versatile than a ChromeBox to do all this tasks together.
To put the device in developer mode:
1) Insert a paperclip into the hole left of the kensington lock and press the recovery button
2) Power on the device, then remove the paper clip
3) When greeted with the recovery screen, press [CTRL-D] to enter developer mode
4) Press the recovery button (with paperclip) to confirm.
To remove write protection on rootfs:
Code: Select all
/usr/share/vboot/bin/make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partition 2
/usr/share/vboot/bin/make_dev_ssd.sh --remove_rootfs_verification --partition 4
Code: Select all
mount -o remount,rw /
