Will this work on chip pro?

Problem flashing in Ubuntu (14.04, 14.10, 15.04 and also 18.04 LTS)

Hello,

I know this repo seens to be an outdated version, but I was trying to flash alpine with your last release and with the cloned CHIP repo (https://github.com/Project-chip-crumbs/CHIP-SDK).

With a lot of Ubuntu versions, installed as Vagrant, Parallels VM or even local installation, using USB 2.0 ports, I couldn't flash Alpine Linux properly from you latest release.

Below is the output:

$ sudo BUILDROOT_OUTPUT_DIR=alpine/ ./chip-fel-flash.sh
BUILDROOT_OUTPUT_DIR = alpine/

flashing.......................................................................................................TIMEOUT
ERROR: could not flash:

Always I got timeout.
The normal flash (gui, server, buildroot) works flawless.
Do you know anything how to solve this issue?

By the way, Alpine Linux 3.9 with armv7 support, you are going to support it?

Thank you!
