## 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.
