# Flashing the Firmware Here are some extra steps needed for flashing the firmware. ## Kasli ### Windows From the [official manual](https://m-labs.hk/artiq/manual/installing.html#configuring-openocd): On Windows, a third-party tool, Zadig, is necessary. Use it as follows: 1. Make sure the FPGA board’s JTAG USB port is connected to your computer. 2. Activate Options → List All Devices. 3. Select the “Digilent Adept USB Device (Interface 0)” or “FTDI Quad-RS232 HS” (or similar) device from the drop-down list. 4. Select WinUSB from the spinner list. 5. Click “Install Driver” or “Replace Driver”. 6. After above steps done, you may see the devices in the Device Manager: ![after_zadig_devices.png](../img/win32/after_zadig_devices.png) You may need to repeat these steps every time you plug the FPGA board into a port where it has not been plugged into previously on the same system.
