Hi, thanks for the request.

Are there any plans to support the $9 CHIP computer?

If we can get our hands on one, yes. Although it works out at roughly £30 after shipping + import tax to UK :frowning_face:

I'll send CHIP an email, see if they would be willing to send us a dev sample board, allowing us to achieve an DietPi image and support for this device. Failing that, we would need to achieve funds from donations.

Tweet, should get more attention than email, show your support and should help get things rolling 👍 : https://twitter.com/DietPi_/status/833279357380591617

Received a few donations, ordered a CHIP kit for $43. On back order for Q1.

Marking as closed due to the following:

• I lack the device, and, have no plans to purchase one currently.
• PREP can be used to convert an existing Debian pre-image into DietPi: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/PREP_SYSTEM_FOR_DIETPI.sh
