Firmware archive for the Samsung Chromebook Plus, model XE521QAB, packed as a 3.64 MB RAR. The name gives no board number, chip type or firmware version, so open the archive and check what image it holds before use. Chromebook firmware usually lives on a small SPI flash and includes coreboot and write-protected regions, so a technician typically reads the original chip with a programmer first and keeps that backup safe. Confirm the image size matches the flash chip capacity, otherwise it will not fit or boot.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
