This guide and scripts are based on the excelent work made by https://github.com/Thore-Krug/Flash-CHIP and the guide in https://gist.github.com/luzhuomi/526fbcc30f3522f09eacf20d0f776fa5
## Part 1: Flashing stock C.H.I.P. image
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
### Part 1: Stock image
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/asophila/Flash-CHIP.git` to clone this repository.
- `cd` into the location where you stored this repository.

3. Connect the C.H.I.P. its micro USB port to a USB port of your Linux machine. Make sure that the port and cable allow for plenty of power. If you get a FEL error, it may be because the C.H.I.P. is running under-voltage.
4. On the Linux machine:
- run ` git clone https://github.com/asophila/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.

1. run `sudo su -` to allow all the next changes as superuser
2. run `curl -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asophila/Flash-CHIP/master/CHIP-updater/jessie-to-stretch.sh | bash` to update from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch
3. reboot C.H.I.P. into Debian Stretch
## 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.
If this dos not work Install sunxi-tool v1.4.1:
```bash
git clone --branch v1.4.1 https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git
cd sunxi-tool/
make install-all install-misc
cd ../
./Flash.sh
```
