I rebooted in windows and installed the chrome browser for windows. I then installed the CHIP Flash app. I then connected the CHIP and tried to flash the CHIP Outernet software BUT it could not find a .chp file.
Yes, you are missing something. The link Syed indicated as the guide is actually a description on how to set up the development environment.
You install dependencies as described on that link. When complete there is a script in the zip file that uses the utilities installed during dependency setup.
Lines 30 onward of the README.txt file in the zip file should have sufficient information to install the image provided by the zip file.
Ben as all CHIP computers are identical could you not just send me the Image that the zip file creates and save me the pain of having to set up the development environment.
I have limited internet here in a remote part of the Philippines. Just downloading small files can take for ever.
I downloaded it and it is the same thing. No flashable .chp file.
Do you not have a .chp file you can just send.
Right now setting up a Ubuntu development environment and all the things required in a remote country with very poor internet is a big thing when all I want to do is put a 120 mb flash image on a internal memory of a CHIP computer.
Sorry about that, @syed posted an outdated documentation link. .chp files are undocumented, and we haven’t had the chance to reverse engineer and create them yet. For now, we’ll have to do things the hard way and do it manually. Please refer to this guide and use this image.
Ok my good friend Larry followed the CHIP / Outernet Flash guide and we have the CHIP Flashed.
The CHIP Successfully turns on and I can connect Via the WiFI Hotspot no problem.
But appears to run out of power and shuts down after about 10 seconds when I connect the E4000 Dongle.
