After a LOT of Googling I am not finding any answers to this question I
have, so hopefully someone here has forged this path and can enlighten me?
I have set up Eclipse to develop for Android and gotten some success with
using a couple of the Android simulators. (Most don't seem to work out of
the box BTW) Anywise I now would like to use a real Android device (I have
an ASUS pad to play with, will be getting an Android phone shortly though I
dunno yet which one) and understand I can do so using a USB connection.
I presume (correct me if I am wrong!) I must use a peer to peer (also
called a host to host or crossover) USB cable with Type A connectors on
each end? (at least for the pad, dunno what sort of connector the phone
will have...) Looking around I found several companies selling crossover
cables but all I can find are supported with Windows drivers. From what I
can grok, it appears that one must have a special driver in order to have a
protocol that will allow communication to take place between two hosts
making each appear as a device to the other, hence the need for a special
driver. Trouble is, I am developing under Linux (openSuSE12.1 to be exact)
so before I go and order one of these cables I would like to know if A)
Does Linux/Eclipse support these cables out of the box? B) If not, can
someone recommend a cable the is supported under Linux/Eclipse? C) If so, I
would still appreciate recommendations on what cables others have had a
good experience with....
