Currently messages like "Writing flash chip..." that don't end with a newline are buffered until the operation is complete, unless the particular write function generates status output in the meantime.
Correct. This should be fixed, but...
Flushing stdout after each message ensures that the message appears immediately.
...if you want to flush immediately after each message, you better turn off buffering of stdout alltogether using setvbuf in the startup code, I think.
