# Flash-CHIP
Ready to use Flash environment for the C.H.I.P Single Board Computer

Simplyfies the Flashing Process for the C.H.I.P and PocketC.H.I.P Computer.

## Instructions
1. Remove the C.H.I.P from its case (in case you have a Pocket C.H.I.P).
2. Connect the FEL and a GROUND pin of the C.H.I.P (for example, with a paperclip).
3. Connect the C.H.I.P its micro USB port to a USB port of your Linux machine.
4. In the Linux machine:
- run ` git clone https://github.com/thore-krug/Flash-CHIP.git` to clone this repository.
- `cd` into the location where you stored this repository.
- run `sudo chmod +x Flash.sh`
- run `./Flash.sh`
- Select the version you want to install.
- Wait until the installation finishes.
- Enjoy!

## Troubleshooting
### General Issues
1. Kill the Script with ctrl + C
2. Read the output if something is not installed or Permissions are missing
3. Just restart the Script (fixes most of the Problem with FEL and Fastboot )
4. If this does not help reboot, retry
5. Open an Issue on this Git Repo.

### The script times out waiting for fel
This error is related to an insufficient amount of power provided by your USB port to the C.H.I.P.
If you have an external `5V` power supply, you can connect it to the `CHG-IN` pin of your C.H.I.P. to provide sufficient power.
Alternatively try a different (shorter, or higher quality) USB cable and check if your host PC has USB power saving enabled.
