SDB does not list connected test device

When connecting the test device to my Windows XP 32-bit system, in the status bar of the device it displays briefly 'USB connected'.

Also, the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard shows up and tries to scan the device for pictures. However, this doesn't work and Windows shows an error message.

When starting a command prompt, navigating to the C:\tizen-sdk\tools directory and issuing the command 'sdb.exe devices' (without the quotes) the response is 'List of devices attached' followed by an empty line.

The device is on and otherwise works perfectly so I do not see why there would be a problem with SDB not recognizing the connected device.

Thank you for any help in solving these connection problems.

Had the same problem. Fixed by installing drivers from: http://down2.local.sec.samsung.com/uploadimg2/comLocal/service/support/consumer/download/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip and then rebooting the computer a couple of times. Hope this helps.

Hi, are there any drivers for Mac OS? And where to find all of those? Docs are almost useless

Sorry, I have no idea about Mac OS drivers.. I've found the link to Windows drivers here: https://bugs.tizen.org/jira/browse/TSDK-59 Maybe you should try to escalate that issue and ask about Mac OS drivers.

Hi, Are you able to get the device in SDK. Check in connection Explorer of SDK. If not install driver once again, this issue i also faced after reinstalling the driver, i am able to get the device in connection Explorer and using sdb devices in command prompt i got the device specification also.

in my understanding, driver install is not required for Mac OS. check your device setting menu, if USB debugging mode is on or not.

Hi,

AFAIK, on Ubuntu and on MAC you don’t need to install drivers. Unfortunately, I can't check this on Ubuntu right now, but on MAC it works ok without drivers.

Can you please tell any other way to connect to target device (Panda Board) from host device except SDB and minicom

When i give sdb shell command, i'm getting below message

"error msg: target not found"

Have you registered SDB as a global command by adding a symbolic link to it at /usr/bin/ ?

sudo ln -s /home/leon/tizen-sdk/tools/sdb /usr/bin/sdb
Shashank M

Yes

shashank1@shashank:~/Downloads$ ls -l /usr/bin/sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 28 12:09 /usr/bin/sdb -> /home/shashank1/tizen-sdk/tools/sdb

Strange… It should work, but I didn’t try with PandaBoard.
