I am trying to get ADB up for a saber tablet.

I have enabled usb debugging and installed the driver on my windows computer.

What else am i missing?

Hello Paul,

If you are using Android 10.2, see below excerpt from the 10.2 Android user’s manual:

• ADB function
o Download the Android SDK.
o Update the adb configuration to scan for freescale's pid:
 Run the SDK's tools to generate a configure file:
android-sdk-windows\tools\android.bat update adb
 Modify the files:
X:\Profile\<your account>\.android\adb_usb.ini, to add freescale vendor id:

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x15a2

o Unpack the freescale Android USB win driver in the release package tool\android_usb_fsl.zip.
o Connect the Android Device into PC, uninstall your old driver named "Android Phone" in the device manager, then reinstall driver by scanning .inf file under the directory you unpack the android_usb_fsl.zip.
o Restart the adb server
 adb kill-server
 adb start-server

If using 10.2.1 update:

Have a look to 10.2.1 release notes:

2.26 Some WindowsXP pc can’t find adb device.
Update the windows driver for adb.

Driver is in the 10.2.1 release /tool folder

Using 10.3, you can update your driver in /tool folder

Best Regards,

Thanks Luis

For any one else who is seeing this problem

the command "android.bat update adb" will clear the added freescale entry in adb_usb.ini

so make sure that you edit the file after the update

Paul, can you tell us where can I find the driver for windows computers?

Thanks!

Never mind, I found it! We have to download android source code on this page: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=IMX53_SW and clink on "i.MX53 Android 10.4 Source Code"

Inside the imx-android-r10.4_bundle_BSP there will be a android_usb_fsl folder. Just point the windows drivers to that folder and you are good to go!

Thanks anyway.

...I have done precisely that (Inside the imx-android-r10.4_bundle_BSP there will be a android_usb_fsl folder. Just point the windows drivers to that folder and you are good to go!) and all the steps in the R10.4 User_Guide to no avail. Still WinXP cannot find 'necessary software' for the "MX51 BBG Android" - whereas it can find R9.2 loads every time!

A side note to anyone looking at this series of posts:

you may also need to update the android_winusb.inf file in ...\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\android_usb_fsl\

;FROM:

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_15A2&PID_0C02&MI_01

;TO:

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_15A2&PID_0C02&MI_03

if your Device Manager see's a different PID than MI_01. Mine (R10.4) was MI_03.
