sudo pacman -Sy wget curl gptfdisk rsync binwalk e2fsprogs && yay -S vboot-utils cgpt

sudo apt install wget curl bash e2fsprogs gdisk cgpt rsync

apk add curl wget bash e2fsprogs gptfdisk sgdisk cgpt rsync

git clone https://github.com/EtherealWorkshop/Aurora.git
cd Aurora

Run the next command with a raw shim and the architecture of the chromebook you have.

sudo bash Aurora /path/to/shim.bin [cpu_architecture(x86_64 or aarch64)]

Flash the resulting board-aurora.bin to your flash drive, then plug it into your chromebook to expand the partition.

You can then either download recovery images or shims in the shim, or put them on the shim via mounting the 4th partition of the device on another linux machine and copying them into /usr/share/aurora/images on the mounted drive.

• Here's a list of shims that are built in to not boot:
  1. Raw shims - You don't need to boot a raw shim. The raw shim option in SH1MMER has also been removed when booted in Aurora.
  2. Priism and IRS - Aurora is quite literally a merger of these two.
• Here's a list of shims that we've tested and they work:
  1. SH1MMER (contains cryptosmite and icarus)
  2. Shimboot (:3)
  3. KVS
  4. Aurora (great scott!)
• Here's a list of shims we're gonna make work and test: 3. Any future shims that are made
