The C.H.I.P. has Uboot like many other arm-based devices.

As such, that is the 'safe' image.

As linked from:
http://trac.subsurface-divelog.org/wiki/NextThingCHIP
8<---------
"Repair" mode (U-Boot) is detailed at ​
http://docs.getchip.com/#chip-boot-repair-tool
---------->8

Thus, if we go the image route, and the KISS-setup that we are going for
will likely imply that, then we just use this recovery feature to flash
a new version onto the device.

Greets,
