This can be done in one of two ways, each are acceptable. The first step of this process is discovering criteria that can be plugged into our ruleset. We need to right a ruleset that udev can use to match the device.

Discovery of these attributes is necessary since udev matches the device based on specific criteria. Using device node's name (/dev/bus/usb/001/063), its possible to query the device and discover its attributes. The device node's name is: /dev/bus/usb/ 001/ 063 In my working example, my device was correctly identified:īus 001 Device 063: This information helps us determine the name of the device node. I modified my PATH statment within gedit by adding the following to the bottom of the ~/.bashrc file:Ĭode: lsusbThis should produce output similar to the following:īus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hubīus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubīus 001 Device 063: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd The PATH statemnt must be altered to include the /android-sdk-linux/tools and /android-sdk-linux/platform-tools directories. In most cases and by default the ~/.profile file imports all settings from the ~/.bashrc file). (The ~/.profile file is read upon login for all interactive shells, and the ~/.bashrc file is read upon all non-interactive shells (i.e sftp). The PATH environment variable may be either modified within ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile) or within ~/.bashrc. Modify your PATH environment variable to include the adb and fastboot executables. These programs will be located within the newly created directoy ~/android-sdk-linux/platform-toolsĢ. The platform tools package contains both the adb and fastboot executables.

Any additional packages may be downloaded as well. ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/androidSelect Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools.(Screen shot provided below).

Install adb and fastboot ubuntu
