These use CP210x drivers. Depending on your operating system you might need to install them. On linux these are already present. + +Software: + * Board Manager: You will need to add the support for this board to your IDE (Arduino in this case), see: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino * SPIFFS: You will need to add SPIFFS file upload support to Arduino if you want to upload files to the ESP12F, see: https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin
