Recently did something similar with a Pocket CHIP and an X230. This is a wonderful SPI programming setup: https://imgur.com/5KEo4Y5

Do you have a link to documentation? I have the pokcetCHI@ and the laptop, and would be interested in giving this a go.

I did this kind of in my spare time, but I'd be happy to write up something quick later tonight or this weekend.

Most important bit is a SOIC8 Pomona 5250 clip and some wires to connect it up properly. I ended up soldering some right-angle headers onto my CHIP so I can do other things besides SPI programming with it.

That would be awesome, and appreciated, I would love to give it a try.

That thing looks great, never heard of it before :) You can do that with an Android phone, too, btw.

Android phone doesn't have gpio sitting right there waiting for you to plug something in to it.
