Running HP Tuners on an Intel powered Chromebook

[jd1332]

I am trying to determine if one could get HPTuners to work on an intel powered chromebook (like the samsung chromebook 2 http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/chro ... 0C12-K01US) after installing crouton, then wine, then installing HPTuners. The requirements for HPTuners are:

•1 GH CPU - SC2 runs a 2.16 GH CPU
•512 Mb RAM - SC2 has 2 Gb RAM
•Microsoft Windows® XP/Vista/7 or better
•USB Port - SC2 has 2 USB ports, 1 USB 2 and 1 USB 3

hptuners.com. HP Tuners is software that allows a user to modify the computer that runs a vehicle. The connection to the vehicle is made via the OBD2 port.

The only caveats are the fact that the chromebook obviously doesnt run windows and i am not sure if the hardware that connects the vehicle to the computer will know what to do

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be most appreciative.

If communication with the hardware is pure serial over USB, you may be able to get it to work in Wine by symlinking a com port to the device. https://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-gui ... ure#AEN901

Hi,

probably nobody in this forum will be able to tell you, if it works. You'll have to try it. If the software requires a hardware driver to be installed, it probably won't work in wine. You'll have to resort to e.g. running Windows XP in a virtual machine like VMware or Virtualbox, not sure if this can even be done on a Chromebook.
