Tools for ChromeOS development on linux.

This directory contains tools that are useful when developing ChromeOS UI on linux.

run_cros.sh

run_cros.sh is a shell script to ash-chrome on linux, with a set of useful predefind options (e.g. enables login, debug shortcuts and ui-devtools) with optional customization (e.g. display settings).

  $ tools/chromeos/run_cros.sh

will run the chrome in out/Release directory with default settings. You may add src/tools/chromeos directory to your PATH and can simply run it without the path.

  $ run_cros.sh

If the directory for your local build is different from the default, you can override it with --ash-chrome-build-dir.

  $ run_cros.sh --ash-chrome-build-dir=<dir_to_your_chrome_binary>

Please use --help to show more options.

  $ run_cros.sh --help
