Run device as simulator which is not in the USB Vendor IDs

I have a Best a Buy easy home 7 tablet 7 and I'd like to use it as simulator with eclipse.

I've update adb and and kill adb server and run it again.

I'm working in OSX

Solution

  • I figured it out!

    1. While the tablet was connected, I ran this in a terminal:

      system_profiler SPUSBDataType

      This yielded the following information about the tablet:

      BB:

    Product ID: 0x0010
    Vendor ID: 0x2207  (Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd.)

    2. I modified the adb_usb.ini file in ~/.android/, adding my vendor ID to the end of the file as follows:

      # USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2207

    3. Finally the device appeared in Eclipse in the Android Device Chooser.

    I hope someone else finds this useful.
