The '''CHIP''' tag is a 16-bit unsigned integer (<code>uint16_t</code>) that denotes the type of chip the firmware is to be installed to. It is used to prevent [supposedly] incompatible firmwares from being installed. A firmware is truly incompatible if it uses instructions only available on newer processors.
This tag denotes the type of chip (ie. [[S5L8900]], [[S5L8720]], etc) the firmware image is to be used with.

The CHIP tag is a 16-bit unsigned integer (uint16_t) that denotes the type of chip the firmware is to be installed to. It is used to prevent [supposedly] incompatible firmwares from being installed. A firmware is truly incompatible if it uses instructions only available on newer processors.
