[ Source: depthcharge-tools  ]

Tools for ChromeOS firmware/bootloader integration

The built-in firmware on ChromeOS devices has a custom verified boot implementation that can only boot from special images written to partitions of a certain type. This package provides tools that create these images for the running system and manage these partitions.

On ChromeOS devices, this also provides hooks to keep Debian bootable via the firmware's custom verified boot method by automatically building boot images and writing them to appropriate partitions whenever a kernel or an initramfs change happens.
