Samsung Chromebook "SNOW" model XE303C12 on NetBSD ?



Hello.

A lot of years ago,I bought the cool notebook "Samsung Chromebook "SNOW" model XE303C12" where it seems that only ChromeOS and Linux can be installed. The specs are the following ones :

  • CPU: Samsung Exynos 5 Dual (5250) (Cortex A15; 1.7GHz dual core cpu)
  • GPU: ARM Mali-T604 (Quad Core)
    • 1366x768 screen & HDMI external connector
  • RAM: 2 GiB DDR3
    • The memory is not upgradable as it is soldered directly to the board
  • Disk: 16 GiB SSD (connected to eMMC)
    • SD & USB expansion slots
  • WiFi: 802.11 a/b/g/n
    • USB slot can handle Ethernet dongle

I'm trying to look on the Internet to understand if I can install NetBSD.

Which options do I have to have a fully working NetBSD system on that machine ? If it can't be installed natively,maybe these two options are feasible ? :

1) to virtualize NetBSD using qemu and kvm
2) to install NetBSD using the crouton chroot method ?

What else ? What do you think ? Maybe you know some specific tutorial that's more updated and that can allow me to install NetBSD on that machine making almost everything work as expected.
