# Revive an outdated C.H.I.P. from factory OS to Debian Buster
|
|
## 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.
|
|
- run `sudo chmod +x Flash.sh`
|
|
- run `./Flash.sh`
|
|
- Select the version you want to install.
|
|
- Wait until the installation finishes.
|
|
|
|
### Part 2: update and upgrade debian jessie (wich is obsolete and archived)
|
|
1. Remove the FEL connection (the paperclip)
|
|
2. Unplug 3 seconds
|
|
3. Plug the C.H.I.P. again
|
|
4. run `sudo nmtui` to set-up a wifi connection
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
