Anchorboot

Pre-built UEFI replacement firmware for ARM-based ChromeOS devices using coreboot/U-Boot

Product Information

Description
Anchorboot provides pre-built UEFI replacement firmware specifically designed for ARM-based ChromeOS devices, leveraging the coreboot and U-Boot projects to create an alternative boot environment. This firmware enables users to bypass ChromeOS's default bootloader, offering greater flexibility for installing alternative operating systems like Linux distributions or custom builds on compatible Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. Key features include support for standard UEFI interfaces, simplified installation processes through pre-compiled binaries, and compatibility with various ARM architectures commonly found in ChromeOS hardware. The project serves developers, hobbyists, and users seeking to repurpose their ChromeOS devices for expanded functionality beyond the manufacturer's intended ecosystem, providing open-source firmware that facilitates boot customization and OS experimentation.
