## nytpu's notes

1. Install sunxi-tools, uboot-tools, and android-tools (for fastboot)
2. `FEL='sudo sunxi-fel' FASTBOOT='sudo fastboot' SNIB=false ./chip-update-firmware.sh -p`
   to flash a PocketCHIP image.

A table of flags that can be provided:

```

== Help ==
  -s  --  Server             [Debian + Headless]
  -g  --  GUI                [Debian + XFCE]
  -p  --  PocketCHIP         [CHIP on the go!]
  -b  --  Buildroot          [Tiny, but powerful]
  -f  --  Force clean        [re-download if applicable]
  -n  --  No limit           [enable greater power draw]
  -r  --  Reset              [reset device after flash] 
  -B  --  Branch             [eg. -B testing]
  -N  --  Build#             [eg. -N 150]
  -F  --  Format             [eg. -F Toshiba_4G_MLC]
  -L  --  Local              [eg. -L ../img/buildroot/]
```

Note that when updating this script to work with new versions of fastboot, I
removed the `-i` flag that specified a specific device to target.  Shouldn't be
an issue unless you have your Android phone in fastboot mode plugged in at the
same time as your CHIP, but be warned I guess.
