Pixelbook 2017 install - successful

In Chrome OS Linux support needs to be turned on in settings.
My Pixelbook is a Intel Core i5 so it seems to work well, I don’t know if it will work on a ARM based Chromebook.

Once there I downloaded the Debian install script made it executable and then ran it.
then after typing the wfview command it opens in a window on the Chrome OS desktop.
The audio I’ve listen to thus far sound pretty good.

Settings that work for me are below

  • Select Connect over LAN
  • Set your Chromebook the the SSID of the IC-705
  • The default IP for the IC-705 wlan server is 192.168.59.1
  • You do have to go into the 705 and set network user 1 or 2 user name and password
  • For Audio I left both as default, both work well
    edit To get audio from the Chrombook might you need to enable mic access to Linux in the ChromeOS settings.
  • Save settings and then exit program.
  • Relaunch wfview and you should connect automatically and if there is audio coming from the radio then you should be able to hear it.
