# scripts
Collection of scripts to install Kodi and/or update the fimware/legacy boot payload on supported ChromeOS devices
# ChromeOS firmware and Kodi install scripts
Collection of scripts to install custom firmware, update the fimware/legacy boot payload, and install Kodi on supported ChromeOS devices
 
**setup-firmware.sh** allows for the installation of custom firmware and/or an updated legacy boot payload on supported ChromeOS devices.
It also includes functionality to set the stock firmware boot flags (via set_gbb_flags.sh), and restore the stock firmware on a Haswell or Broadwell ChromeBox, either from a backup file (on USB) or from a generic recovery image firmware file (which it will download). If the latter is used, the device-specific VPD (vital product data) is extracted from the running firmware and merged with the generic firmware file, to ensure the device's unique MAC address, serial #, etc are maintained.

KodiBuntu (optimized for Haswell-based ChromeOS devices); though with the custom firmware, any off-the-shelf OS can be

**setup-firmware.sh** is a slimmed-down version of the above script (without the kodi-related parts), and has
the same requirements/restrictions as well.

OpenELEC, which cannot run the above scripts due to lack of a full Bash shell.
