- manufacturer's software tool
Notes
- DON'T BUY THE PROGRAMMING CABLE* you can use a 3.5mm stereo plug and a usb to serial device. (pinouts available here)
- If you buy one the only working setup for using the manufacturer's programming software found by User:haxwithaxe has been Windows7 with *Vista* drivers for the Prolific serial adapter.
- others have had success with WINE and in XP but since many of the cables are counterfeit they have varying levels of functionality with different drivers.
- User:haxwithaxe use a VirtualBox VM with usb pass through.
