1. The Context: Why Version 7.020?

Before initiating a download, it is vital to understand the hardware environment.

• The "China Clone" Era: Most KTAG devices available on the market today are clones (replicas) of the original Alientech hardware.
• Firmware Compatibility: The 7.020 version refers to the firmware embedded in the hardware. The software you download must match this firmware. If you attempt to run newer software (like v7.10+) on older hardware (like v5.0 or v6.0) without a firmware update, the tool will brick.
• Stability: Version 7.020 is preferred because it supports a massive range of protocols (EDC17, MED17, EDC16, etc.) and is highly stable on Windows 7 and Windows 10 systems.
