Hi!

I am trying to launch android adb utility, i should launch adb on desktop and on IMX board to establish connection between them. When I try to start adb on IMX wtih a help of terminal emulator i get 'permission denied' message. How I can get root privileges on android machine?

I don´t understand why you´re trying to start adb on imx. Can you see adbd with ps command?

If you only start adb from your pc, you will get the connection.

Thanks for reply, Daiane!

Could you tell me on imx adb client or server running? Did you get root privilegs, as i heard this process like jailbreak on iphone.

What do you want to do with adb? Are you trying to install something? (adb install package.apk)

You can do some tasks with adb without "being root".

What´s your main goal?

Please, post some command line you´ve beeing trying so far.
