Binding

This section describes the binding for the master configuration. This defines the structure of the configuration and the nodes and properties that are permitted.

In Chromium OS, the word ‘model’ is used to distinguish different hardware or products for which we want to build software. A model shares the same hardware and the same brand. Typically two different models are distinguished by hardware variations (e.g. different screen size) or branch variations (a different OEM).

Top-level node:

• name: “models”

Sub-nodes define models supported by this board.

‘Model’ node:

• name: Name of device
• Required properties:
  • wallpaper: base filename of the default wallpaper to show on this device. The base filename points the loging manager to 2 files in the /usr/share/chromeos-assets/wallpaper/<wallpaper> directory: /[filename]_[small|large].jpg. If these files are missing or the property does not exist, “default” is used.

Example for reef

chromeos {
	models {
		reef {
			wallpaper = "seaside_life";
		};
		pyro {
			wallpaper = "alien_invasion";
		};
	snappy {
			wallpaper = "chocolate";
	};
};
