Hi Henry, adb will work with the emulator or real devices, but not with the simulator or desktop.
If you're using one of the production devices, then adb is turned off on the phone, by default. You can enable it by going into the Settings app, Device Information->More Information->Developer, and make sure "Remote Debugging" is enabled. If you're using a build that you built yourself, then adb should be enabled by default. Make sure that you can see your phone using lsusb. If the phone doesn't show up in lsusb, then adb won't work. How much of the file system will be visible depends on whether the adb service running on the phone is running as the root user or the shell user. On developer phones, the adb server normally runs as root. On production devices, the adb server normally runs as the shell user. The shell use can't see into /data (except for /data/local/tmp) Dave Hylands ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Henry Hoggard" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 1:03:27 AM > Subject: [b2g] Is it Possible to use ADB with The Simulator or B2G Desktop? > > I have followed the tutorials of setting up ADB and It can never see any > devices, is it possible to get it working with the simulator or desktop > version? > > If so would you be able to see the filesystem? > _______________________________________________ > dev-b2g mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g > _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
