Memory: we recommend at least 16GB, plus enough swap space, because for the purpose of this project you will need to build Chromium from source code. The Chromium OS build process runs in parallel so more cores can help shorten build time dramatically. The Chromium OS is a very large project, building from the source form scratch usually takes hours to over 10 hours, depends on the system configuration.ĬPU: we recommend using a 4-core or higher processor. On your build computer, outside the chrootĪ x86_64 system to perform the build.

There was a big change regarding the graphics stack in Chrome OS. We previously worked on this overlay internally and released a few disk images for Raspberry Pi to the public.

It doesn't work on any earlier version of the Raspberry Pi line-up. These overlays and the document has been tested against Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+ and 4B by the FydeOS team.
#CHROME OS ON RASPBERRY PI HOW TO#
This document describes how to build and run Google Chromium OS on Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+ and 4B, from its source code and the board overlay hosted in this repository. If you aren't bothered with all the technicalities and just want the pre-built images, it's here, under the release tab, no hard feelings :p
