How to enable developer mode on Chromium OS running in a virtual machine (virtualbox)

Question

I am trying to test an Android application on Chrome OS running on VirtualBox based on these instructions on the Android developers site.

One step is to enable developer mode in Chrome OS. Instructions for some devices can be found here , but I'm not sure how to enable it in Chrome OS in a VM.

Chrome OS image is downloaded from this link

Can anyone help? Is it possible?

The link you provided is not a ChromeOS image (ChromeOS is available only on equipment from Google’s manufacturing partners, such as Chromebooks), but a ChromiumOS-based distribution provided by a third-party vendor.

Currently (Q4'2017), you can run Android applications only on ChromeOS (not ChromiumOS), and only on specific hardware .
