Hi, Hey,
I have a Samsung Chroombook (last year edition) and start to think to put Crux on it. I have noticed Crux on ARM project, but it's not very active and doesn't support my hardware. Not sure what do you mean by active... we are releasing 3.0 soon. Take a look to the development section and you'll see the progress. We move in #crux-arm channel and there isn't much movement, as we aren't many. But there are a lot of things to do.
Samsung Chromebook isn't supported officially, as far as we haven't any of these devices, but there are some docs about how to help developing contributed images, be part of the community and some other tips.
How hard to prepare new ARM port? or maybe someone already did it?
You need a working kernel for the device and a bootloader which let you boot "device's needs". After that, you can use a generic release and rebuild packages with custom cflags (probably rebuilding the entire toolchain with optimizations, using its own overlay as other supported devices could be the best for it) or start from scratch, with crosstools and core/core-arm ports. Take a look to the community information, there are mailing lists, irc channel and flyspray for these task.
Cheers, Wawrzek Regards, Victor.
