The Ligne d'Integration Laser (LIL) has been completed in 2002 and was first dedicated to laser physics experiments as a prototype for the future Laser MegaJoule. It delivers up to 15 kJ at 351 nm. We will present the last installed standard diagnostic devoted to Equation Of State experiments, which is composed of a pyrometer, a VISAR and a shock breakout measurement. It has been used to measure the equation of state of boron. The shock was generated using direct and indirect drives to explore a large set of pressures up to several Mbar. Quartz and aluminum were used as reference materials. We will discuss experimental data and compare them to simulations.
