My Attempt at a New Method of Flashing

While the U-Boot config has changed slightly with the SWUpdate method the source code is still the same as documented here: https://github.com/macromorgan/chip-debroot. Aside from a kernel patch to fix the i2c bus on shutdown the kernel code itself was an unmodified mainline master snapshot of the 5.16 branch I think. I haven't posted the config yet for that (since it's HEAVILY stripped down relative to the Debian kernel) but I will do that as well.

I'm trying to make flashing the CHIP as easy as I can, and I think I have gotten as far as I can get in the flashing department. I've created a new method that runs an on-device web browser that allows you to upload images to the CHIP directly without having to use a serial console or a command line. The downside is that you still need to use the command line to flash the initial bootloader. I don't see any way around that for the time being. The method is built on the wonderful tools SWUpdate and Buildroot.
