Chip Pro - Clarification

[myronww]

I tried following the instructions in the readme. Everything worked fine. The build completed and I was able to flash the image to my chip pro. However, it does not boot.

Does this work with the Chip Pro. If not then maybe you could have a note indicating that it doesn't.

I tried a reflash and here is the serial output.

Added comment block to avoid useless markdown.

I don't think anybody tested the chip pro version - and that includes me. Based on your findings it seems indeed broken. Would you be able to push a PR for the README to state this?
