Raspberry Pi 5 as development debug device connected on USB cable (USB-C)

mcfoi

I hoped to be able to use my Raspberry Pi 5 wit emteria.OS 14.2 as an ordinary development device.
While the Pi 5 boots correctly when connected to my Windows laptop using USB-C cable, the Raspberry never gets recognised as an Android device.

Any hints if that is possible at all?

@mcfoi I have never tested it myself but you would probably need to load a different USB driver like we do for the CM modules. On the other hand, RPi5 needs a more powerful power supply to work properly maybe this is related too.

Hi @mcfoi - I've also tried to get the USB debugging working with no luck. I've since figured out how to get the WiFi debugging running using the "adb pair" + "adb connect" commands from the Android Development Studio. Was relatively straightforward - found a few guides on how to do this online. Just had to pull my laptop off the ethernet cable and put it on the same WiFi network as the Raspberry Pi. Debugging on WiFi is probably just as fast as USB debugging. I can't tell any difference when I'm deploying / debugging code.
