Setup SSH

1. Run ssh setup script from ChromeOS

/usr/libexec/debugd/helpers/dev_features_ssh

2. Add your public keys to ~chronos/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

3. You should now be able to log in via ssh.

ssh chronos@yourmachine

Setup Remote Chrome Debugging

sudo /usr/libexec/debugd/helpers/dev_features_chrome_remote_debugging

To get binaries to execute:

Run:

sudo mount -o remount,rw -io exec /home/chronos/user/

or change the directory to where you're trying to execute the file.

Note: If you get an error like mount: /home/chronos/user/Downloads not mounted or bad option, remove the last directory from the command (in this case /Downloads) and try again. Keep removing until it works.

Note: If you get an error like When remounting eCryptfs, you need to pass the mount utility the -i parameter to avoid calling the mount helper, change the -o exec to -io exec. (I had to use the latter, hence the io in the command above.)
