* Yes, in this case you need a second PC connected to the RPi over UART
* in the SD Cards's `/boot/config.txt` file `enable_uart=1` and `dtparam=spi=on`
* [For flashrom](https://www.flashrom.org/RaspberryPi) we put `spi_bcm2835` and `spidev` in /etc/modules
* [Connect to a wifi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md) or to network over ethernet to install `flashrom`
* [Connect to a wifi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md) or to network over ethernet to `sudo apt-get flashrom`
* only flash the top 4M chip
* connect the Clip to the Raspberry Pi 3 (there are [prettier images](https://github.com/splitbrain/rpibplusleaf) too:

That's it.
#### background (just so you know)
* Connecting an ethernet cable as a power-source for SPI (instead of the VCC pin)
is not necessary (some other flashing how-to guides mention this).
Setting a fixed (and low) SPI speed for flashrom offeres the same stability.
