Build instructions ​

1. Open a terminal, clone the repo and start the script with this command:

   shell

   git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/eupnea-project/depthboot-builder && cd depthboot-builder && ./main.py

   git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/eupnea-project/depthboot-builder && cd depthboot-builder && ./main.py

2. Follow the instructions inside the terminal.

3. Flash the created image file to a USB drive/SD-card using Etcher, dd or any other tool. If you are using Rufus, read this first.

   • If the script was run within Crostini, copy depthboot.bin to a folder that is accessible from ChromeOS's Files App, then flash it using the Chromebook Recovery Utility extension.

4. Open the ChromeOS shell by pressing CTRLALTT, type shell and press Enter.

   • If you get an error about shell not being a command: Enable developer mode and try again.

5. Inside the ChromeOS shell enable USB and Custom Kernel Booting by pasting the command below and pressing Enter.

   shell

   sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0

   sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0

6. Reboot with the USB drive/SD card plugged in and press CTRLU or select "Boot from external disk".

After a black screen Depthboot will boot.
