GR8

un-bagging Next Thing Co "chip pro" featuring a 'GR8' chip, some dude take'n a smoke break on streets of sf handed me one, so took it home and started hack'n on it as ya do, or thus far don't. these were set to release in "october" this is october, one year later. debian boot image for this is marked "deprecated", embedded arch version doesn't seem to have been rounded out.

following cut and paste, doesn't exactly work, also you could just "su" the user in teh terminal to update group addition. in theory this would also work "sudo chromium --no-sandbox" however this assumes using ubuntu, we're using arch, so pause here to find windows machine.

So rtfm'd on Windows 10 machine, installed chrome app, installed driver, flashed with VU example, and now flasher can't re-enable FEL mode after running other tests. Also main product page says "dual mic's" however, these are apparently only i2s inputs, and the actual hardware required is on a optional dev board, so VU demo is probably totally useless in this case.

WHY IN TEH POST IRONIC SMALL BATCH INFINITY SCALE HARDWARE WORLD DOESN'T THIS COME WITH A PRE-INSTALLED IMAGE THAT DOES SOMETHING OUT OF THE BAG!?

will sleep on it before going nuclear...
