Manual flash using CHIP-tools:

Make sure you've got the following packages installed: android-tools-fastboot sunxi-tools u-boot-tools
Change to CHIP-tools directory
Run FEL='sudo sunxi-fel' FASTBOOT='sudo fastboot' SNIB=false ./chip-update-firmware.sh -L ../flash-collection/stable-pocketchip-b126.
When you see "waiting for fel......" connect CHIP to your computer with a microUSB cable.
Once you see "FLASH VERIFICATION COMPLETE.", then flashing is successful.

Flashing using the Vagrant VM:
The Vagrant VM contains all the flash images available in "flash-collection"
Make sure you've got the latest VirtualBox and the Extension Pack installed.
Import the OVA to VirtualBox.
Extract CHIP-SDK (it contains the SSH-Key to connect to the machine)
Change to CHIP-SDK directory.
Run "vagrant up"
Run "vagrant ssh" to connect to the machine.
Now follow the process outlined in README.md

Thanks to yoursunny for guiding me through the process of manual flashing with his blog.

Cheers,
