Since You're beginner, here is the most important set of information related to setup and functions of RIFF Box.

Depending on Your operating system, download appropriate driver and unpack it to Your hard disk.
Connect the RIFF Box to USB port on Your PC using USB cable. Make sure
to use root USB ports, (usually back side of PC) and not the HUB ports.

Windows will detect the new hardware, and request the software driver.
YOu can now select driver directory where You've unpacked it.

You may need to DISABLE driver signing option in system settings.

- Download and installation of RIFF JTAG Manager software

Download
setup file and execute it. The JTAG Manager will be installed to
\System Drive\Program Files\RIFF Box JTAG Manager directory. Example :
"C:\Program Files\RIFF Box JTAG Manager"
Quick launch and Program group icons will be installed too.

Now You can start the RIFF JTAG Manager application and download all the files which are required to use RIFF Box.

As You can see, all available files are check by default, and queued for
download. In case You don't need all the files at once, You can use
right click to un select all files, and manually chose ones You need
urgently. Since there is around 800MB of files currently, and this size
will increase with time, You can download only files which You really
need at the moment.
In that case, make sure to include latest RIFF Box firmware, and latest
JTAG Manager software, together with desired device DLL! ! !
You can now click "Download Selected" and wait til process is finished :

Now press "Yes" and wait for process to be finished.

In some cases You may need to install RIFF Box driver again, since
update mode enumerates box with different VID&PID. In this case,
update process will be stuck at "Restarting". Simply press "Stop" and
reconnect box. After setting up the driver, You can press "Firmware
update" button again.
----

Now You are ready to use RIFF Box and its software with phones or other supported devices.
Congratulations !

How to request help with supported devices :

- First check if Your problem is already described in any of sticky topics
- Use SEARCH function to check if some of the users already had same problem

If none of above helps, please always open NEW THREAD, with clear, short explanation of problem, and required informations :

- Device model, and cause of "death"
- Logs from RIFF JTAG Manager
- Info if Your box was tested before with another device

DO NOT :

- Use capital letters
- Write anything without DETAILS

Since we have more and more users, You should understand that sometimes
You'll need to wait to receive an answer from supporter, this is normal
situation. There is no need to post same problem more then once.

We are building a list of useful external links, and forum topics, and this will be posted here soon.

Thank You.
