* Two mini-USB (B) cables (not provided with the kit).
This tutorial has been tested and verified with Ubuntu LTS 16.04.6 (kernel v.4.15.9) and Ubuntu LTS 18.04.2 (kernel v.4.18.0-17), this mean that standard support will only be given for these releases.
However, the `spec-sw` driver should work with other releases, distributions and architectures. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is supported but some versions like 18.04.1 or 18.04.3(with kernel version 5.0) does not work correctly unless you [set a previous kernel version](#Set-Previous-Kernel-Version). Ubuntu LTS 14.04 is not supported.
