Latitude 5430 Chromebook Service Manual
Chrome Shell (CROSH)
About this task
The Latitude 5430 Chromebook does not support ePSA, Dell BIOS, the F12 boot menu, or DellConnect. There are no pre-boot diagnostics. All troubleshooting must be done inside the OS. Chrome Shell (CROSH) and the Chrome URL commands provide some troubleshooting tools, information, and advanced settings. CROSH is a command line interface similar to the Linux BASH or Windows command (cmd.exe) terminals. Chrome OS is based on Linux, but CROSH does not recognize most Linux commands. he most useful commands for troubleshooting are memtest, storage_test_1, storage_test_2, ping, and tracepath. Ping works differently than it does in Windows. By default, it repeats until you press <Ctrl> + <C>, and it does not show any statistics. The tracepath command is similar to the Windows traceroute command. A detailed explanation of the commands can be viewed below, by typing help, or help_advanced in CROSH.
The following are the steps for running the CROSH diagnostics:
Steps
- Open the Chrome browser.
- Press <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <T>.
- Type in the CROSH command for diagnostics. Type help for a list of available commands.
