Installation

Suspend Issues
Screen wakes from "going to suspend" notifications
Phosh/GNOME sleep warnings depend on the chassis type (upstream merge request). The generic device google-gru uses convertible as chassis type, this needs to be changed to tablet to disable these warnings.
sudo hostnamectl chassis tablet
To make this permantent, add the following line to /etc/deviceinfo:
deviceinfo_chassis="tablet"
A proper fix is being worked on here.
Device resets a few seconds after resume
This is caused by the hardware watchdog being triggered (kernel module dw_wdt). This should be fixed for installations with systemd. If you use OpenRC, install the package watchdog-kick. For more details, read the issue ticket.
Hardware Write Protection
If you want to modify GBB flags or flash the EC firmware, you have 2 options to disable the firmware write protection: using CCD (Closed Case Debugging) via a SuzyQ adapter or shorting a jumper on the mainboard (labeled JP1). This is not necessary for installing postmarketOS on the device. For more information on ChromeOS write protection, read the mrchromebox documentation. Information on calculating the GBB flags is available at GBB flag-inator and information on using CCD to disable firmware write protection is at mrchromebox as well.
