Chrome OS for I.MX51 / 53 ?

Hi Everyone.

I'm just wondering if anyone has Chromium OS running on an i.MX51 or 53?

I remember seeing a UTube video of a Freescale staff member showing the i.mx51 sabre

tablet running Chromium OS at a trade show a while back but further web searches have

come up empty.  Mind you I have not done much digging through the build tree to see

if there was any reference to i.MX51/53 support.  I've just received my i.MX53 QSB and

am very keen to see Chromium OS running on it.

 

All the best,

Ewan.

I would very much like to see the same.  I have seen Chrome OS and Chromium OS on several demo videos of the chipset and board.  I have personally downloaded the Chromium browser to run inside of Ubuntu, but the overhead of running the Ubuntu system and Chromium is way too much.  I was getting memory usage above 500MB.  I know the browser is going to eat a lot but I don't need the Ubuntu overhead as well.

I am posting this in hopes that others may see this post and join in the chorus for Chrome.
