Add Linux Udev Rules
Issue Overview:
Linux users may encounter issues when connecting devices for debugging, such as error messages or ADB logcat continuously waiting. This can also include permission errors even when the terminal is connected.
Identifying the Problem:
The root cause is often the bus and device ID assigned by the kernel not being correctly configured.
Solution: Configuring Udev Rules:
1. Locate Bus and Device ID:
Determine the bus and device ID assigned to your device by the kernel.
2. Create a Udev Rules File:
Add a udev rules file containing the USB configuration for each device you plan to develop with.
In the rules file, each device manufacturer should be identified by a unique vendor ID, specified by the 'ATTR{ID_vendor}' attribute.
3. Setting Up Device Detection:
For Ubuntu Linux, set device detection as follows:
Example: For a device with a Qualcomm vendor ID, the mode assignment should specify read/write permissions, and a GROUP attribute should define which UNIX group owns the device node.
4. Executing the Udev Rule:
After setting up the rules file, execute the necessary commands to implement the new rules.
5. Verifying Connection:
Once the rules are in place, connect your device again to verify successful connection.
