Minix X7 mini: how to make developer connection (through USB or WiFi) by debugger/adb?

[gavenkoa]

Non-mini X7 have dedicated USB OTG port so it is safe to use it to connect Minix to PC without burning your USB port.

Mini have only 2 USB ports. In flashing instruction most nearest to corner USB port used for flashing. But you must hold special button.

How to do a usual for Android devices developer connection through USB (from adb) for mini series with bundled Host-to-Host cable without burning Minix or PC?

What setting I need to set to make connection from adb?


Seems that to connect through WiFi you need to execute:

adb connect 192.168.x.y

with your Android IP but I still don't try this.

Using WiFi ADB does not allow connect on Minix X8-H Plus. I tried all options with Developer mode enabled and get the same error every time, "unable to connect to 192.168.X.X" There are many other way to connect to this box like using ES File Explorer and setting up a network connection to your PC but still the most convenient way is to use my command prompt and use WiFi ADB. If anyone knows the solution to this problem with the Minix Neo Plus 2015 model box please let me know.

On http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html written:

The server then sets up connections to all running emulator/device instances. It locates emulator/device instances by scanning odd-numbered ports in the range 5555 to 5585, the range used by emulators/devices

So try to run nmap to scan if there are any open port for your device:

$ sudo nmap 192.168.0.0/24

Use own subnet mask instead of 192.168.0.0/24 or try another alternative for nmap: http://alternativeto.net/software/nmap/
