Dear Albin,

As for Persmule, I've never had the need to use an ATX power supply, or
anything beyond the external BBB power supply and the two 3.3v
pins/holes on the BBB itself when flashing Chromebooks externally.


If the chip isn't being recognised, the most likely culprits are:


1. That you attached the clip the wrong way round.

2. The pins on the clip aren't making proper contact with the legs on
the chip.

3. You've mis-wired the setup to begin with.


Regards,


John.
