+Chrome OS binary extraction
+===========================
+
+These scripts can be used to extract System Agent reference code
+and other blobs (e.g. mrc.bin, refcode, VGA option roms) from a
+Chrome OS recovery image.
+
+crosfirmware.sh
+---------------
+
+crosfirmware.sh downloads a Chrome OS recovery image from the recovery
+image server, unpacks it, extracts the firmware update shell archive,
+extracts the firmware images from the shell archive.
+
+To download all Chrome OS firmware images, run
+$ ./crosfirmware.sh
+
+To download, e.g. the Panther firmware image, run
+$ ./crosfirmware.sh panther
+
+extract_blobs.sh

+and mrc.bin
