Possibly, although I would suggest being careful about that. Make sure
you have a tool to revert the flash contents. Note that you will not
have signed firmware so won't get updates. Presumably you are in dev
mode anyway,

The instructions are just to flash the image.bin file that comes out
of the build, once it exists. But there is no chromeos_nyan target as
yet. So your only option right now is to build an image without
verified boot, and use a script to boot Chrome OS. I have not tried on
this nyan.

I suppose you could put U-Boot in the image in instead of dc and it might work.
