Then I reinstall ChromeOS (no more Fedora), and at this moment I played with GBB flags.

Yes I have right now ChromeOS in dev mode but it can’t find the iotools (when I start the laptop it says « press space to enable security)

Here the output :

localhost / # dd iflag=sync if=/dev/mem bs=2M skip=2046 count=1 | hexdump -C
