Unfortunately, CHIRP for the BF-888S is still a work in progress.

I was trying to get it to work this morning under Windows and it's still buggy.

It will download an image from the radio but will not upload the changes back to the radio.

A bug report was submitted about 3 weeks ago. Bug Report #1195

The latest daily build lists the 888S but that's a dual band and it's highly unlikely the two are interchangeable as far as programming with Chirp. Maybe the 666S is in the works, I don't know I'm not part of their software development. Jens who posts to this list is part of that group of people so he would be a better source of info as to what is in the works.
