If you want a u-boot prompt then you should look into using the chain-loaded nv-u-boot on the Chromebook: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook Be careful, if you boot Chrome OS from that prompt: it will kick you out of developer mode immediately, wiping your stateful partition. -Olof _______________________________________________ boot-architecture mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/boot-architecture
