| # Chromium OS Region Database. | |
| This folder contains the Chromium OS region database. | |
| The database is created in JSON format and available in | |
| `/usr/share/misc/cros-regions.json`. | |
| Every Chromium OS device should have a `region` VPD entry that can be directly | |
| used as a key into this JSON database. | |
| ## New Regions | |
| For projects that need to use unpublished regions, please: | |
| 1. Visit http://go/cros-keyboard-request and find the table | |
| *Consolidated VPD & region data*, and check if your region is confirmed. | |
| (If not, contact OOBE / L10N team to confirm and sign-off). | |
| 2. `cd ~/chromiumos/src/private-overlays/chromeos-partner-overlay/chromeos-base` | |
| 3. `cd regions-private/files` | |
| 4. Edit `regions_overlay.py` to add correct region data into `REGIONS_LIST`. | |
| 5. Build system and try. You can use tool `cros_region_data` to verify: | |
| `cros_region_data <FIELD> <REGION_TO_TEST>` | |
| For example, `cros_region_data description us` shows `United States`. | |
| 6. Create the CL and cherry-pick into both factory branches and | |
| release image (including FSI) branches. |
