Android Kitkat imx6: How to use ABD over TCP by default

On Mx6 Running kitkat android

Our design is not going to have the usb (otg) port available. I would like to set the adbd to use the tcp connections by default. I can get it to work but I have to restart adbd about reboot.

I have tried

root@nitrogen6x: # setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555

and added

system.adb.tcp.port=5555

/data/local.prop

and/or

/system/build.prop

I can get adb to connect

<sdk>\platform-tools> adb connect 172.16.0.45

ONLY if i restart adbd

root@nitrogen6x: # stop adbd

root@nitrogen6x: # start adbd

I don't under why this is required.. in system/core/adb/adb.c

I see

...

// If one of these properties is set, also listen on that port

// If one of the properties isn't set and we couldn't listen on usb,

// listen on the default port.

property_get("service.adb.tcp.port", value, "");

if (!value[0]) {

property_get("persist.adb.tcp.port", value, "");

}

if (sscanf(value, "%d", &port) == 1 && port > 0) {

printf("using port=%d\n", port);

// listen on TCP port specified by service.adb.tcp.port property

local_init(port);

} else if (!usb) {

// listen on default port

local_init(DEFAULT_ADB_LOCAL_TRANSPORT_PORT);

}

I don't understand what is preventing it from starting correctly without adbd restart.

Any thoughts before I start ripping up the code :-)

Hi Bill,

I suggest to modify the property on init.rc.

You can simply added it in your device/fsl/platform_name/init.rc under "on boot" by "setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555".

Then "mm bootimage -B" to rebuild the boot.img. Burn boot.img into your board. Reboot.

Thanks.

BRs,

Haoran
