Good news everyone !
Posted by Pierre Charlier
Production and quality control are now complete, and we are ready to deliver your order! Mega and Master packs will be delivered through DHL and will most likely arrive first ; it was a bit more expensive than expected, but we think you guys deserve it ;-)
For people who didn't fill their phone number in the form, we need it now for international deliveries ; so please communicate it to us quickly!
There are still 8 people who didn't fill the form at all, so please do it within three weeks, or we will have to cancel your order ... thanks for your understanding.
Hardware files and KeyDuino library are already available on GitHub thanks to Raymond Borenstein. You can find everything following the link below, please note that this is still "Work in progress" and that more information, examples, and content will be added gradually.
Thank you !

January C.H.I.P.sters and Kernel Hacker Backers are on target to have their C.H.I.P.s shipped before the end of January!

QUICK NOTE TO ELIMINATE FUTURE CONFUSION:KERNEL HACKERS WILL RECEIVE 4 C.H.I.P.s WITH THIS SHIPMENT WITH THEIR FIFTH C.H.I.P. ARRIVING WITH THEIR PocketC.H.I.P. IN MAY.

Check out the instructions at docs.getchip.com and join the community conversation on the NTC forums.  We're seeing excellent support on the forums with C.H.I.P.sters sharing tips for other C.H.I.P.sters. If you discover something helpful,share it!
This has been developed and tested on Ubuntu 14.04.  While it may work on other versions, Ubuntu 14.04 is the only officially supported platform.
Special thanks to those dedicated C.H.I.P.sters determined to reflash their C.H.I.P.s.  Rest assured, FLASHING WILL BECOME EASIER, and the C.H.I.P. Boot Repair Tool is the first step.
