How to convert chromium os bin file from Source Forge to iso?

Question

I want to convert the bin file from source forge I've try to call:

bchunk chromiumos_image.bin chromiumos_image.cue chromiumos_image.iso

but got error:

Could not open BIN chromiumos_image.bin: Value too large for defined data type

I also tried:

iat chromiumos_image.bin chromiumos_image.iso

but got error:

Image is broken
This image is not CD IMAGE

the file command say it's:

chromiumos_image.bin: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xee, 
start-CHS (0x0,0,2), end-CHS (0x3ff,255,63), startsector 1, 5058495 sectors

how can I convert it to iso so I can run it in VirtualBox?

It's working fine here with bchunk. I have downloaded the .xz file. What cue file are you using ? — solsTiCe, Commented Sep 28, 2016 at 20:49
@solsTiCe I'm using .bin file from .gz file, will download .xz — jcubic, Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 7:29
@solsTiCe how do you execute the command? I'm also not able to convert .xz file to iso. — jcubic, Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 8:33
@solsTiCe yes I unpacked it and the content is the same as in .gz file. — jcubic, Commented Sep 29, 2016 at 19:56

You create a chromiumos_image.cue file with the content:

FILE ”chromiumos_image.bin” BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

and you run

bchunk chromiumos_image.bin chromiumos_image.cue chromiumos_image.iso
