You will need to install the superbird-tool from the GitHub project page. The process will vary from OS to OS, so hyperlinks to each operating systems instructions are included below, and will take you to each step.

You will also need to install python3, libusb, and pyamlboot to use superbird properly.

macOS: Tested on aarch64 and x86_64 processors, and root is not needed.

Linux: Tested on aarch64 and x86_64 processors. Root access is required.

Windows: Tested on x86_64, the process has been greatly simplified significantly.

Once the tool is installed you can run the --find_device command for your OS, and you should be able to see your Car Thing when you plug it into your computer.
