Install TIAO Black Flash USB+ Universal Flash Programmer Driver on Windows Vista or Windows 7

In this tutorial , I will show you how to install the drivers for [TIAO Black Flash USB+ Universal Flash Programmer (BlackflashUSB+)] on Vista or Windows 7.

The TIAO Black Flash USB+ Universal Flash Programmer (BlackflashUSB+) is a universal flash programmer with integrated USB to Serial converter (TTL level) and 2 port USB 2.0 hub. It is fully compatible with flashcatusb, thus you can use open source software to program your flash chips.

Before you begin the install process, make sure you have the following software and hardware ready:

  1. TIAO Black Flash USB+ Universal Flash Programmer (BlackflashUSB+)
  2. A good quality USB to Mini USB cable, the shorter the better. (The ones come with your digital cameras are usually very good)
  3. Driver for the flash programmer: FlashcatUSB Driver/Binary
  4. Driver for the USB to Serial: USB to Serial

Let's begin the install:

  1. Inspect the adapter, make sure no bend pins or anything abnormal. Make sure all jumpers are at the correct position. There is only one jumper on the board, default is on the 3.3v header.
  2. Download the Black Flash USB+ driver from FlashcatUSB Driver/Binary, unzip it to a temp directory.
  3. Download the USB to Serial driver from USB to Serial, unzip it to another temp folder.
  4. Windows will install the driver for the USB 2.0 hub automatically, so you do NOT need to install anything for it.
  5. Do NOT connect the Black Flash USB+ to the computer, run the PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.8.0.exe program from the temp folder to install the USB to Serial adapter driver.
  6. Once step 5 successfully complete, use the good quality USB to Micro USB cable (USB cable from your digital camera or camcorder) to connect your computer and the Black Flash USB+, LED D3 should be ON.
  7. Open up device manager, you should see these three devices:
