If it's not a built in option as others have mentioned, then yes, you normally need root to switch on adb-over-tcp. There may be some workarounds you could set up per-boot by first connecting on wired adb. Launching an ssh server from wired adb after boot would give you shell capabilities as the usual shell userid, but not a jdwp debugger or integration with adb-based host-side tools. > 2) Once I can connect with command-line ADB over WiFi, is it a simple > process to enable download/debugging over WiFi from within Eclipse? > Yes it basically just works. > 3) Are there any "gotchas" that I should look out for? > ADB over TCP likes to timeout without realizing it, at which point you have to manually disconnect and reconnect. The -s parameter to adb must be in the form of ipaddress:port when specifying a tcp target. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
